InfiPlex Bridge · EDI to API

EDI to API: serve EDI retailers without running EDI

Target, Costco, Lowe’s, Walmart DSV, Rooms To Go — big-retail purchase orders still arrive as EDI. InfiPlex Bridge™ EDI to API takes over the trading-partner connections — the documents each retailer requires, mapped and tested for you — and hands your team the result as JSON through a REST API, as ready-to-work orders in the InfiPlex OMS, or straight into your ERP.

  • Required EDI Documents, HandledEach trading partner’s document set, ready to process
  • Direct EDI or Your VANDirect connections mean significant savings vs. other EDI providers
  • JSON, Not EDI FilesREST API with Bearer-token auth — or no code at all in the OMS

How it works

From EDI purchase order to JSON, automatically

Your retailers keep speaking EDI; your systems never have to. InfiPlex Bridge sits in the middle, connected direct to the trading partner or through your existing VAN — and every required document flows on time in both directions.

Flow diagram: EDI retailers such as Target, Costco, Lowe’s, and Walmart DSV send purchase orders into InfiPlex Bridge, direct or through your VAN. Bridge handles each partner’s required EDI documents and returns acknowledgments, shipments, and invoices, while your team receives orders as JSON via the REST API, in the InfiPlex OMS, or in your ERP.

What the program handles

Everything EDI to API takes off your plate

  • Any EDI Trading Partner

    Connect direct with Target, Costco, Lowe’s, and any other trading partner — or through an existing VAN like SPS Commerce or CommerceHub. Direct connections offer significant savings vs. other EDI providers; see direct EDI connection costs.

  • Required Documents, Ready

    Every InfiPlex EDI connection already handles the documents each trading partner requires, so you can start processing files quickly — no document-by-document build-out.

  • REST API in JSON

    All order data is accessible via the InfiPlex REST API — Bearer-token authentication, with calls for Orders, Inventory, Pricing, and Warehouses. Contact us for a full API walk-through.

  • Or Skip the Code: the OMS

    No build required — work your EDI orders in the InfiPlex Order Management tools, with the same routing, inventory, and tracking underneath.

  • ERP & Custom Builds

    Connect NetSuite or the ERP you already run. Your dev team can build one integration into InfiPlex and reach every retailer through it — or InfiPlex will work with you to build into your ERP.

  • 3PLs, Tracking & Oversell Protection

    Orders route to your 3PL warehouses; tracking flows back to the retailer to finalize each order. Inventory — including 3PL stock — stays current everywhere, with low-stock controls that stop overselling and protect your seller ratings.

In a different seat?

EDI to API is one of four InfiPlex Bridge programs — they share one platform and combine cleanly on a single account.

Frequently asked

EDI to API questions, answered

Family-level questions — pricing across programs, combining seats — live on the InfiPlex Bridge overview. These are the EDI-specific ones.

What is InfiPlex Bridge EDI to API?

It’s the InfiPlex Bridge program for sellers whose retailers require EDI. InfiPlex manages the EDI connections with your retailers — the mapping, the testing, and the document set each trading partner requires — and gives you every order through the InfiPlex REST API in JSON, through the standard InfiPlex order management tools, or through your ERP. Your retailers keep their EDI requirements; your team never touches an EDI file.

Which EDI documents does InfiPlex handle?

Whatever the trading partner requires — every InfiPlex EDI connection already handles each partner’s required document set, so you can start processing files quickly. In practice that means purchase orders coming in, and the acknowledgment, shipment, and invoice documents (the 855, 856, and 810 for most retailers) going back on the partner’s schedule, plus inventory updates where the partner takes them.

How do orders actually reach my systems?

Three ways, and you can mix them. Pull everything through the InfiPlex REST API — Bearer-token authentication, calls for Orders, Inventory, Pricing, and Warehouses, all in JSON — which lets a dev team build one integration and reach every retailer through it. Work orders directly in the InfiPlex OMS with no code. Or have InfiPlex connect your ERP, like NetSuite, so orders land where your operation already lives.

What if my trading partner isn’t listed?

The names on this page are just the most-connected partners — EDI to API isn’t limited to them. InfiPlex connects directly with any EDI trading partner, building to that partner’s required document set, or routes through your existing VAN where that’s the requirement. And when a channel turns out to be API-based rather than EDI, InfiPlex builds new API integrations at no additional cost. Send the partner’s name or spec sheet over and you’ll get a straight answer on connection and cost.

What happens after my 3PL ships an order?

InfiPlex routes the order to your 3PL for shipping, receives the tracking number back, and forwards it to the EDI retailer to finalize the order — no manual close-out. Inventory levels, including stock sitting at connected 3PL warehouses, update to every retailer automatically, and low-stock controls trim what specific channels see so you don’t oversell and damage your seller ratings.

Can I connect my own drop-ship suppliers too?

Yes. InfiPlex can also connect directly with your drop-ship distributors or manufacturers, with order and inventory management included — so the suppliers who ship for you feed the same pool your EDI retailers draw from, and every channel sees current stock. If a full supplier or reseller program is the goal, that’s what the Retail and Brand drop-ship programs are built for.
