Try the free EDI validator and read how capture fits your rollout on distributor workflows.
Operational pain
PDFs and email attachments are not a system of record—until you make them flow
Distributors and suppliers still receive POs by email. The expensive part is not the PDF; it is re-keying, wrong SKUs, and late ASNs. SignalEDI combines document capture, validation, and EDI/API delivery so the same payload can become partner-ready X12 or structured API calls—with human review only when something is ambiguous.
- Mobile Document Capture turns photos and uploads into structured fields you can route into onboarding and mapping.
- Public EDI validator and mapping tools help teams prove samples before partner test windows.
- Retail and wholesale playbooks (850/856/810) live beside healthcare paths—one platform for mixed mandates.
- Transparent monthly plans instead of per-document traps—see pricing before you talk to sales.

Activation path
From file upload to partner-message go-live
Every focused path follows the same Setup Cockpit motion: upload the file, choose the package partner and message type, connect the route, fix blockers, then launch and monitor recent activity.
Partner certification calendars can still vary; SignalEDI shortens your internal setup, mapping, validation, and exception loop.
Visual product proof
See the screens behind this workflow
Each ICP path surfaces the same proof buyers ask for: dashboard visibility, mapping review, lifecycle tracking, error and acknowledgement handling, and API examples.
Partner status, queue health, and next actions.
Review source fields against X12 or API outputs.
Upload, configure, fix blockers, go live, and monitor activity.
Plain-language rejects, retries, and acknowledgement status.
REST payloads and webhooks for the same industry path.
Interactive Product Demo Plugin
Try the SignalEDI operating flow before production
A guided sample shows how Setup Cockpit, local uploads, Signal AI checks, partner-configured routing, Fix issues, and Live Activity work together without changing live data.
Setup tab
Choose the trading partner, documents, direction, connector, and approval rules once in Setup Cockpit.
Setup
Setup Cockpit captures the trading partner, message types, direction, routing guide, and required connector before any production files move.
Configured sample: RetailMart 850 inbound + 856/810 outbound over SFTP
Optional detail: X12 segments, CSV columns, and captured document fields stay inspectable after Signal explains the business issue.
Local file and mobile upload simulator
Purchase order upload
file: retailmart-po-1042.csv source: laptop upload contains: PO number, buyer store, ship-to, items, dates
Simulated Signal AI result: Signal AI matched RetailMart 850 setup and picked the SFTP inbound route
Upload is a file intake step. Signal decides the processing route from the partner and message setup.
Partner-configured route preview
partner: RetailMart message: 850 purchase order direction: inbound route: SFTP folder from partner setup result: normalized order ready for operations
Saved setup
RetailMart order route
The customer saves the partner, file type, and connector once. That setup decides the route before any upload moves.
AI check
Signal checks the file and map
retailmart-po-1042.csv matches the saved RetailMart 850 setup. Signal finds one blocker: the store code is missing.
Fix Issues explains the missing store code and asks operations to add it before the file moves.
Live Activity
Current state stays obvious
Uploaded -> AI checked -> Fix Issues opened. After the blocker is fixed, the file follows the saved SFTP route.
Next action: add store code, then retry the route.
