EDI modernisation

Replace your EDI VAN dependency without replacing your business processes.

Keep your trading partners using the connectivity they require while giving your applications a clean API boundary. CleanEDI separates partner connectivity and EDIFACT from the systems your team builds.

The VAN is not the same thing as your application integration.

A trading partner may still need AS2, SFTP or another established EDI channel. That does not mean your ERP and application teams need to work directly with the format and connectivity details.

Start with one real trading partner.

VAN replacement does not have to be a single cutover. A focused proof of concept gives your team a way to prove the new boundary before expanding it across the network.

01

Map your current flows

Identify partners, message types, channels, existing mappings and downstream systems.

02

Start with one real partner

Choose a representative inbound or outbound flow rather than attempting a big-bang migration.

03

Prove the boundary

Validate EDIFACT handling, partner rules and delivery using a real integration scenario.

04

Move incrementally

Keep the existing flow while the new path is proven, then migrate partner by partner.

Your trading partners do not need to change overnight.

The value is on your side of the boundary. Your partners can continue using the formats and channels required by their agreements while your applications move to a cleaner integration model.

01

Partner connectivity

AS2 and SFTP remain available at the EDI boundary.

02

Application contracts

Your applications use JSON and APIs instead of partner-specific syntax.

03

Migration path

Move partner by partner instead of replacing every flow at once.
