US Foods EDI is the electronic exchange of business documents—such as purchase orders, invoices, and advance ship notices—between US Foods and its suppliers using standardized ANSI X12 formats. Infocon Systems, a fully managed EDI provider since 1988, handles complete US Foods EDI setup, mapping, testing, and ongoing compliance so suppliers can automate their order-to-payment cycle and eliminate manual data entry.
US Foods typically requires the 850 (Purchase Order), 810 (Invoice), and 856 (Advance Ship Notice) as core transaction sets. Additional documents may include the 855 (Purchase Order Acknowledgment), 860 (Purchase Order Change Request), 852 (Product Activity Data), 824 (Application Advice), and 997 (Functional Acknowledgment). Infocon Systems also supports GS1-128 shipping labels and customized packing slips required by US Foods.
EDI connects to US Foods through Value Added Networks (VANs), AS2 direct connections, or FTP/SFTP protocols. A managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems handles the entire communication layer—establishing the connection, configuring document routing, and ensuring every transaction meets US Foods' formatting and delivery specifications. Infocon Systems translates incoming purchase orders into your ERP system and converts outbound invoices and ship notices into the exact EDI format US Foods requires.
With a managed EDI provider like Infocon Systems, US Foods EDI setup is typically operational within days, not weeks. The process includes analyzing your current systems and US Foods' specific requirements, building custom EDI maps and field mappings, testing all transaction sets with US Foods, 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. Infocon Systems is EDI compliant with thousands of trading partners across foodservice, retail, distribution, and manufacturing, including Walmart, Amazon, Target, Costco, Kroger, Home Depot, Sysco, and many more. When you need to onboard a new trading partner, Infocon Systems manages the certification and setup process end to end—so you can expand your customer base without worrying about EDI compliance.
Building EDI in-house requires specialized knowledge of ANSI X12 standards, trading partner 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, Infocon Systems eliminates the need for internal EDI expertise while delivering faster setup times and higher reliability than self-managed approaches.
