FourKites EDI integration is the process of connecting FourKites' real-time supply chain visibility platform to carriers, shippers, and trading partners through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Infocon Systems, a fully managed EDI provider since 1988, specializes in building these integrations. Infocon Systems automates the exchange of load tenders (204), shipment status updates (214), functional acknowledgments (990), purchase orders (850), invoices (810), advance ship notices (856), and other standard documents between your systems and FourKites—eliminating manual data entry and ensuring accurate, real-time visibility across your entire supply chain.
FourKites supports all standard EDI transaction sets when paired with a managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems. Key transportation documents include 204 (Motor Carrier Load Tenders), 214 (Transportation Carrier Shipment Status), 990 (Response to a Load Tender), 856 (ASN/Advance Ship Notices), 850 (Purchase Orders), 810 (Invoices), 855 (PO Acknowledgments), 860 (PO Change Requests), and 997 (Functional Acknowledgments). Infocon Systems maps each transaction set to your specific requirements and handles partner-specific formatting, ensuring accurate data flows into FourKites for real-time tracking and visibility.
EDI connects to FourKites through carrier and shipper data feeds that power the platform's real-time visibility engine. A managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems builds the integration layer that translates, maps, and transmits EDI documents between your ERP or TMS and FourKites' network. For example, when a carrier sends an EDI 214 shipment status update, Infocon Systems ensures it reaches FourKites in the correct format for real-time tracking. Outbound documents like load tenders (204) and ASNs (856) are translated from your system and delivered to the appropriate trading partner automatically.
With a managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems, FourKites EDI integration is typically operational within days, not weeks. The process includes analyzing your current systems and FourKites requirements, building custom EDI translation and mapping programs, testing all transaction sets with live carrier and trading partner data, and launching with 24/7 monitoring and support. Infocon Systems has been delivering EDI integrations since 1988 and has pre-built compliance with thousands of trading partners, which significantly reduces setup time compared to building EDI capabilities in-house.
Yes. With the right EDI provider, FourKites can receive data from virtually any carrier or trading partner. Infocon Systems is EDI compliant with thousands of trading partners across retail, distribution, manufacturing, and logistics, including Amazon, Walmart, Target, Costco, Home Depot, Lowe's, Kroger, and Wayfair. Infocon Systems handles all partner-specific EDI requirements including document formatting, communication protocols (AS2, SFTP, VAN), testing, and ongoing compliance. When you need to onboard a new carrier or trading partner, Infocon Systems manages the certification and setup process end to end.
Building EDI integration in-house requires specialized knowledge of EDI standards (ANSI X12), carrier compliance rules, communication protocols, and ongoing maintenance as partners update their requirements. A managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems handles all translation, mapping, transmission, compliance, and error monitoring as a turnkey service. With over 35 years of EDI experience and pre-built connections to thousands of trading partners and carriers, Infocon Systems eliminates the need for internal EDI expertise while delivering faster setup times and higher reliability than self-managed approaches.
FourKites EDI integration pricing varies depending on the number of trading partners, carrier connections, transaction volume, and document types required.
