Heuristic Profiler Eliminates Mapping

  • Automatically generates trading partner profiles just by reading raw EDI.
  • Manual override of any data element by trading partner, document and version.
  • Complete control over formatting, precision, leading & trailing characters.
  • Complete control over segment & element delimiters.
  • User-defined defaults for any element by trader version & document. This is particularly useful for hard-coded trader mutually defined values.
  • Automatically generates sample data.
  • Easily generate trader specific hard copy document specifications.
  • Easily change e-trading partners profiles as clients migrate to newer versions without changing your applications.

Works with any Value Added Network

  • Fully configurable for any VAN.
  • Use FTP & the Internet to reduce communication costs.
  • Automatically generates functional acknowledgements.

 Complete Logging and Visibility of Inbound EDI

  • Automatically validates all transactions and logs compliance errors and incomplete transmissions.
  • Software errors such as invalid data for specific elements do not abort the transaction.
  • All transactions can be converted to readable format automatically and kept on file indefinitely.
  • Automatic roll back and logging of incomplete transactions.

Automatic Compliance Checking on Outbound EDI

  • Complete control over mandatory elements allows compliance logic to remain at the profiler level instead of the application.
  • Access to the entire knowledge base of standards in an intuitive on-line hierarchal tree interface.
  • Integrated to the standards database from your applications to check qualifiers and allowed entries.
  • All outbound data is validated against the standards database to ensure that all segments elements and loops are in full compliance.
