EDI Fulfillment & Integration In Logistics
Services For Brands Selling into Retail
Services
A purchase order from Walmart, Home Depot, or Lowe’s is great news with a clock attached. It has to be acknowledged, picked, labeled, announced, shipped, and invoiced, each step in the retailer’s format and inside its window. Our EDI fulfillment services put all of it with one team in Atlanta, from the first document that lands to the invoice that gets you paid.
One Team For The Order File And The Freight
Retail EDI has two halves: the data your systems trade with the retailer, and the physical order that data describes. When those halves sit with different companies, every handoff is a spot where a detail can slip and a deduction can follow.
EDI fulfillment with DPWagner keeps both halves together. The documents move through our systems, the product moves across our dock, and the same people answer for both. Shipping cases and pallets to distributors as well? Our B2B fulfillment services run on the same setup.
How Fulfillment EDI Works With DPWagner
Every retailer sets its own rules, but fulfillment EDI follows a familiar path:
| EDI Document | What Happens On Our Side |
| 850 Purchase Order | The PO lands in our system and releases the order for picking |
| 855 PO Acknowledgment | We confirm the order inside the retailer’s deadline |
| 856 Advance Ship Notice | Built from the cartons we pack and label, then sent before the truck leaves |
| 810 Invoice | Issued from the quantities that shipped, so billing reflects what went out |
| 997 Functional Acknowledgment | Sent and tracked, so no document goes unanswered |
Extra documents some retailers ask for, such as inventory updates or order changes, are set up per trading partner. Our order management team keeps orders from every channel on one dashboard and flags anything that needs your input while there is still time to act.
EDI Integration For Fulfillment, Live In Weeks
Our EDI integration for fulfillment runs on Acumatica as our ERP and connects to retailers through SPS Commerce, supported by a retail integration team that has built these connections many times over. We are EDI and API ready for all major retailer platforms.
Many brands go live in about four weeks. We plan on six, so your first retailer ship date never depends on a best-case schedule.
EDI Compliant Retail Fulfillment On The Warehouse Floor
A clean file only counts when the freight behind it arrives the way the retailer asked. That is what EDI compliant retail fulfillment looks like in practice:
- GS1-128 labeling on every carton and pallet, to each retailer’s spec
- Retailer-compliant pallet building with the right stacking, heights, and paperwork
- Routing portals and delivery appointments booked and managed for you
- Direct-to-store and direct-to-DC shipping, including orders split across both
- B2B eCommerce orders for HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Walmart.com, Amazon FBA, and Walmart Fulfillment Services
- Hazmat Level 2 handling for household chemicals and abrasives, including repacking
Our building is ambient, so food, pet food, and cold-chain products are not a good fit.
Three Reasons To Choose DPWagner For EDI Fulfillment
Our Own Brands Answer To The Same Scorecards
DPWagner has shipped its own retail brands into Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, and Ace Hardware for more than 25 years. A chargeback is never a theory for us, because it can land on our own remittance too. That is why every spec change gets treated as urgent.
No Minimums And Invoices That Stay Put
You do not need to hit a storage or order minimum before we take you on. Monthly invoices keep the same format and the same rates, with no quiet increases tucked into the line items. Our accounting and AR team ties every charge to real warehouse activity.
We Reach Out First
Our team contacts you with inventory updates instead of waiting for you to ask. Our virtual warehouse portal also shows stock, orders, and shipments in real time. See how it all fits into a wider retail program with our retail distribution services.

FAQ
What are EDI fulfillment services?
A 3PL receives your retail orders electronically and ships them to each retailer’s rules. That covers the documents (purchase orders, acknowledgments, advance ship notices, and invoices) plus the picking, labeling, palletizing, and delivery those documents describe.
Which retailers can you connect with?
We are EDI and API ready for all major retailer platforms, and our team ships into Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, Ace Hardware, Do It Best, and True Value, along with retailer websites, Amazon FBA, and Walmart Fulfillment Services.
How long does EDI integration for fulfillment take?
About four weeks for many brands, though we quote six to be safe. The exact timing depends on each retailer’s testing process and how many trading partners you add at once.
Do you have order or storage minimums?
No. There are no minimum storage or order volumes, and pricing follows a clear structure for storage, receiving, picking, materials, and pallets, invoiced in the same format every month.
Can you help if I do not have a retail account yet?
Yes! Through our related retail sales agency, we can help certain brands reach buyers at major US retailers, using established relationships and existing vendor numbers. It is especially useful for international manufacturers without a US entity.
