Exchange EDI documents and files with trading partners

Send and receive EDI transactions
Exchange purchase orders, shipment notices, invoices, and acknowledgments automatically with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners. Support AS2 and SFTP with direct routing to your business systems.
Connect to supplier and vendor SFTP servers
Pull production schedules, inventory updates, and quality certificates from multi-tier suppliers automatically. Schedule recurring transfers—hourly, daily, or custom intervals—and route files to appropriate systems based on pre-defined conditions.
Provide secure file access to 3PLs and warehouse partners
Give logistics partners SFTP access to deposit shipping manifests, tracking updates, and receiving reports into your storage. Apply folder-level permissions and IP restrictions to ensure partners access only their designated areas.

Automate file transfers across your supply chain

Schedule recurring file pulls and transfers
Pull files from trading partner SFTP servers on automated schedules—hourly, daily, or custom intervals—and deliver them to your cloud storage or on-premises systems. Set up bidirectional transfers between any connected endpoints.
Apply transformations and routing rules
Convert between file formats (CSV, XML, EDI X12, EDIFACT), apply PGP encryption or decryption, and route files to different destinations based on content, sender, or file type.
Trigger workflows on file events
Execute multi-step automations when files are uploaded or downloaded. Automatically route incoming EDI files to different folders, apply encryption to sensitive documents, send webhook notifications to downstream systems, or copy files to multiple destinations—all triggered by file arrival.

Frequently asked questions

How does Couchdrop handle EDI and AS2 connections with trading partners?
Couchdrop supports inbound and outbound AS2 stations with automated MDN processing. You can set up multiple trading partners on a single AS2 station and share connection instructions directly from the platform.
Can Couchdrop integrate with our existing TMS and WMS systems?
Yes, Couchdrop can connect to any network-enabled Windows or Mac server through the Couchdrop agent, which allows for integration with most logistics systems that can export files to folders or cloud storage.
Can we accept files from external partners who don't have EDI capabilities?
Yes, Couchdrop has multiple methods to accept files from external partners, including secure white-labelled upload portals, email attachment, or by connecting via SFTP clients.
Can I add multiple trading partners or AS2 stations?
Yes, you can add multiple trading partners and AS2 stations through the web interface. AS2 stations support multiple partners on a single endpoint, and you can also add multiple AS2 stations with different certificates and requirements.
Does Couchdrop store our data or customer information?
No, Couchdrop never stores your files. Files transfer directly between your connected systems with end-to-end encryption, with Couchdrop acting as a pipe that enables secure file transfers between platforms.
What happens if a critical EDI transmission fails?
Alerts can be set for file transfer successes and/or failures. The platform also maintains detailed logs of all transmission attempts, including AS2 MDN receipts and error details, and events can be sent to SIEM tools automatically.
Is Couchdrop compliant with transportation and logistics regulations?
