Stedi: EDI integrations in minutes, no assembly required

Stedi: EDI integrations in minutes, no assembly required

Over the past 18 months, Stedi launched eight key building blocks for developing EDI systems.

We designed these developer-focused products to address the major flaws in existing EDI solutions: a lack of control, extensibility, or both. While our building blocks solved these problems, stitching them together into an end-to-end EDI integration still required substantial development effort—until today.

We are excited to introduce the new, integrated Stedi platform. Stedi is a turn-key, event-driven EDI system that allows you to configure EDI integrations in minutes without being an EDI or development expert.

Stedi: The hub for EDI integrations

Stedi is bi-directional and can translate inbound EDI to JSON and generate outbound EDI from JSON—for any of the 300+ transaction sets across every X12 version release. With Stedi, you can integrate with any trading partner and maintain complete visibility into your transactions.

The Stedi platform allows you to:

  • Manage relationships between you and your trading partners.

  • Configure secure file exchange, including SFTP, FTPS, FTP, AS2, and HTTP.

  • Use machine-readable Stedi Guides to validate and generate EDI according to partner requirements.

  • Monitor, filter, and inspect real-time data for all inbound and outbound transactions.

  • Troubleshoot and retry errors to unblock your pipeline without opening a support case.

Configure an EDI integration in minutes

For each trading partner, you'll create partnerships to define the transaction types you plan to exchange and how Stedi should process each transaction. You'll also configure a connection protocol to securely exchange EDI files. Stedi supports file exchange via SFTP, FTPS, FTP, AS2, and HTTP. Finally, you'll set up Destination webhooks to automatically send processed transaction data and events from Stedi to your business system.

Once you've completed this configuration, you can start exchanging EDI files with your partner.

  • Stedi automatically validates and translates files your partner sends over the connection.

  • With a single API call, you can generate and send fully-formed EDI files, complete with autogenerated control numbers, to your partners through the connection.

Own your integrations and your data

Stedi gives you complete control over your EDI integrations. You can build, test, and modify every integration quickly and on your timeline. Our onboarding team is always here to help, but we'll never block you.

Stedi allows you to search, inspect, and debug real-time transaction data. You can view both individual transactions and entire files as well as filter by transaction type, use case (production or test), sender or receiver, specific business identifiers (such as PO numbers), and more.

To help with testing and debugging, Stedi shows detailed error messages and resolution tips based on the X12 EDI specification. After you fix an issue, you can retry files anytime to unblock your pipeline.
