💬 (Anonymous): How do I setup EDI for my brand?

🎙 Jordan’s Answer: EDI allows brands to receive electronic purchase orders from retailers and streamlines the receiving, processing, and shipment time. It’s a way to keep orders in one place without having to keep track of POs manually in e-mail and excel.

Most larger retailers (Whole Foods, Target, Walmart) either highly recommend or require one, but who to choose?

SPS Commerce is one that’s been around, but recently I’ve been recommending brands work with Crstl. Their a more modern EDI provider that is compliant with almost every retailer and can get you setup in just a week.

The best part is that they have amazing customer service, and can help you with any issue that may arise.

If you need a new provider I was able to get them to provide a discount for you to save 25% off for your first year. Just reply to this e-mail and I’ll introduce you to their team.

I reached out to Crstl to become a Foodbevy sponsor because they are doing great work with emerging brands and could be a great partner for you.

Creating a Stellar Packaging Design
