EDI Integration Is Broken: Here’s How to Do It Better

By: Brandon Shores | September 18th, 2025
If you’ve ever felt like EDI integration is a maze of acronyms, tech jargon, and processes no one outside of IT really understands, you’re not alone.

Too often, companies assign someone to “just handle it” without stopping to wonder if they’re running it as efficiently as they could.

Do any of these daily frustrations sound familiar?

  • That dreaded “invoice not found” email that pops up in your inbox
  • A partner onboarding that drags on for weeks and leaves your sales team frustrated
  • Finance chasing down transaction details that should be at their fingertips
  • Chargebacks piling up because of incorrect data

34% of companies reported losing over $250K annually because of poor EDI software integration tools and another 9% said the losses exceeded $1M million per year. (Retail News Magazine)

EDI may feel like survival mode for you, feeling resigned to just keep things moving, fix what’s broken, and trying to squeeze in small improvements when there’s time. But maybe it’s time to rethink your approach?


A people-first approach with CoEnterprise

At CoEnterprise, we help businesses modernize their B2B programs by putting people first. That means we don’t just provide software, we become an extension of your team. We learn your business, speak your language, and work side by side with you to drive measurable results.

We also know you’ve probably heard promises like that before. Too often, providers leave you stuck in endless ticket queues, waiting days for generic responses that don’t actually solve the problem. It’s impersonal, frustrating, and slows everything down.

That’s not us. Your B2B program is the lifeblood of your business and we treat it with the care, focus, and urgency it deserves.
