EDI
Translate anything. Trade with everyone.
Turn raw EDI documents into usable data your retail systems already understand — and back again. Patchworks translates X12, EDIFACT and HL7 messages natively, then routes them through no-code mapping and process flows so you can onboard trading partners without unnecessary hassle.
Build EDI workflows your way
Native EDI translation
Parse and generate X12, EDIFACT and HL7 documents automatically. Patchworks’ ediFabric connector handles the standard so your team doesn’t have to learn segment-by-segment syntax.
No-code mapping, both directions
Map translated EDI data straight into JSON, then use Patchworks’ no-code Mapping shape to push it into your ERP, WMS or OMS — and run the whole thing in reverse to generate outbound EDI documents.
Custom scripting for edge cases
Not every trading partner plays by the same rules. Use AI custom scripting to handle partner-specific quirks, non-standard segments, or bespoke validation logic that off-the-shelf mapping can’t cover.
Why trade EDI through Patchworks?
Retail trading partners — big-box retailers, wholesalers, marketplaces — don’t negotiate on EDI compliance. Patchworks gives you a production-ready translation and orchestration layer, so onboarding a new partner is a configuration task, not a development project.
Multi-standard support (X12, EDIFACT, HL7)
Two-way translation: EDI to JSON and JSON to EDI
No-code mapping shapes
AI custom scripting for partner-specific logic
Full payload visibility and download
Automatic retries and error handling
Scalable trading partner onboarding
Reduced compliance risk and chargebacks
Efficient Data Exchange
With custom scripting, map and transform data between your retail systems and EDI messages in either direction. Translate an inbound X12 850 into clean JSON for your ERP, or generate an outbound 856 from a warehouse shipment confirmation — the same logic runs both ways.
Seamless Integration
The ediFabric connector gives you a reliable framework for handling EDI messages end to end, so retail systems connect to trading partners without a bespoke integration for every relationship.
Improved Communication
Integrating retail systems with EDI messaging improves how you communicate with trading partners — fewer manual exceptions, faster order acknowledgment, and a clearer audit trail on both sides.
Enhanced Efficiency
Integrating retail systems with EDI eliminates manual data entry and the errors that come with it, freeing operations teams to focus on exceptions instead of re-keying purchase orders and invoices.
Real-time Visibility
Every EDI payload — inbound and outbound — is logged and downloadable from the flow run. Get real-time visibility into inventory, orders and financial data moving between you and your trading partners, so you can act on accurate information instead of chasing it down.

Common asked Questions
Patchworks translates X12, EDIFACT and HL7 messages through the ediFabric connector, covering the standards most commonly required by retail trading partners, wholesalers and marketplaces.
Patchworks parses raw EDI files into structured JSON using the ediFabric connector, then applies no-code Mapping shapes or custom scripts to route that data into your ERP, WMS, OMS or other retail systems. The same process runs in reverse to generate outbound EDI documents.
No. The ediFabric connector and no-code mapping shapes handle standard EDI structure for you. Custom scripting is available for partner-specific edge cases, but most mapping is built visually on the process flow canvas, with powerful AI-assistance.
Yes. Translation runs in both directions — EDI to JSON for inbound documents like purchase orders, and JSON to EDI for outbound documents like invoices and shipment notices.
