Stedi Core: 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 Stedi Core, a turn-key, event-driven EDI system that allows you to configure EDI integrations in minutes without being an EDI or development expert.
Stedi Core: The hub for EDI integrations
With Core, you can:
- 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
With Core, you create partnerships to define the transaction types you’ll exchange with each trading partner and how Core should process each transaction. Core uses partnership configurations to validate and parse inbound EDI and to generate and deliver outbound EDI. Outbound files contain all required envelope information, including auto-generated control numbers.
You can set up connections for each partnership to securely exchange EDI files. Stedi supports file exchange via SFTP, FTPS, FTP, AS2, and HTTP.

Run custom code for any requirement
After configuring Core, you can use Stedi Functions to react to success and failure events from Core, integrate Stedi with your internal and third-party systems, or run custom code to transform data and fulfill any requirement.
You can also use the following capabilities with functions to address the most common integration tasks:
- Stedi Mappings helps you transform data from one JSON shape to another. For example, you can map data from an EDI transaction set, like a purchase order, to your ERP data schema—or vice versa.
- Stedi Buckets offer unlimited storage for all your documents and any other object data.
- Stedi Stash is an infinitely scalable key-value data store that you can use to store custom configurations and reference data, such as product or vendor lookups and tracking information.
Own your integrations and your data
Core 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.

To help with testing and debugging, Core 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.
