FOCUSED ENGINEERING GUIDE

Build reliable EDI flows around the ERP and partner network you already operate.

Implement and validate X12 or EDIFACT transactions with explicit mapping, acknowledgements, exception handling and production ownership.

WHAT THIS ENGAGEMENT COVERS

EDI Integration Services for X12 and EDIFACT

An EDI connection has to do more than translate a document. It must interpret the partner’s implementation guide, map the message to the ERP, return the right acknowledgement and give operations a clear path when a transaction fails.

Ariftly builds EDI integrations around those operating realities. The engagement covers partner requirements, X12 or EDIFACT mapping, transport and ERP connectivity, validation, monitoring and handover. Existing VANs and middleware can remain in place where they still fit; the goal is a dependable flow your team can understand and support.

THE PROBLEM

The difficult part is rarely the happy path.

We start with the dependencies, exceptions and verification burden that make this work risky.

  1. 01

    Partner specifications buried in implementation guides

  2. 02

    Partner-specific qualifiers and mapping rules

  3. 03

    ERP fields that do not match the external message

  4. 04

    Rejected transactions with weak operational visibility

  5. 05

    Certification and failure-path testing that slows go-live

AI + DETERMINISTIC ENGINEERING

Move faster.
Verify the result.

01 / ACCELERATE

AI-assisted engineering

AI accelerates specification analysis, field mapping and generation of repeatable transformation logic.

02 / VERIFY

Deterministic controls

Schema checks, business rules, acknowledgements, test packs and controlled failure scenarios provide deterministic evidence.

01

Accelerate repetitive work

AI assists analysis, classification, mapping and transformation where it can reduce manual effort.

02

Return inspectable artifacts

Your team receives code, mappings, tests, evidence and documented exceptions rather than a black box.

03

Fit the existing environment

We work with the systems, controls and deployment boundaries that already run the business.

04

Keep critical decisions human

Material changes and unresolved exceptions remain subject to accountable engineering review.

REFERENCE SCENARIO

Reference scenario: purchase order to ERP

A generic operating trace for an inbound transaction. It demonstrates the evidence structure rather than a live customer deployment.

03 ERP transformation result
04 Acknowledgement and rejection paths
05 Operational exception view

ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Start bounded.
Build from evidence.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    One bounded workload, system or partner flow.

  2. 02

    Production work

    Implement, integrate and validate the agreed scope.

  3. 03

    Ongoing operation

    Monitor, support or extend where the operating need justifies it.

  4. 04

    Reusable automation

    Turn proven repeated patterns into reusable engineering capability.

QUESTIONS

Do you support X12 and EDIFACT?

Yes. The exact transaction sets, versions and partner conventions are confirmed during assessment.

Can you connect to our ERP?

Yes. We can integrate through an available API, file interface, middleware layer or another controlled interface supported by your environment.

Can you work with an existing VAN?

Yes. The engagement can preserve your current VAN or transport provider while improving mapping, validation and operational handling.

Do you replace managed EDI providers?

Not necessarily. We first identify the actual constraint. Ariftly can complement an existing provider, replace a bounded flow or build an owned integration where appropriate.

How do you test partner mappings?

We create representative success and failure scenarios, validate syntax and business rules, verify acknowledgements and document the expected operational response.

DISCUSS THE REAL PROJECT

Bring the system.
We’ll map the path.

Share a representative workload, specification or architecture. Sensitive production access is not needed for the first conversation.
