What is the Transalis Business Network?
A B2B EDI and eInvoice trading network is a shared connection that lets thousands of companies exchange electronic orders, invoices and despatch notices without building a separate link to each other. The Transalis Business Network is a managed, neutral one. 15,000+ organisations already trade across it, so a single connection reaches all of them, not one buyer's private programme, but the whole network. And it grows in your favour: every organisation that joins makes your one connection reach further.
Connect once. Reach anyone. The more that join, the more your connection is worth.
One connection, every trading partner
A single connection reaches Argos, AS Watson, Amazon and 15,000+ more across 50+ countries. Transalis runs the onboarding, format translation and compliance behind it, through the Transalis OpenEDI™ platform.

Retailers and suppliers, hubs and spokes
There are two ways onto the network, and both come down to a single connection.
As a retailer, you're the hub.
Your entire supplier base connects to you through one point. You onboard suppliers onto the network instead of chasing each one for a separate link.
As a supplier, you're a spoke.
One connection reaches every retailer you supply. No separate link, no separate project for each buyer, you join once and trade with all of them.
Why join the network
Instant reach.
One Transalis OpenEDI™ connection puts 15,000+ organisations within reach. The retailers and partners you trade with are already here.
Translation handled.
Every partner has its own format. Transalis translates between them, so you never manage the mapping yourself.
Fits your systems.
The network connects to your ERP, warehouse or accounting system, so orders and invoices flow straight in and out.
Global coverage.
Trade across 50+ countries through the same connection, as your business grows into new markets.
Real-time tracking.
Transalis DataTrack™ shows every message as it moves, so you always know an order or invoice arrived.
Fully managed.
Transalis runs the network and the support behind it. You get the outcome, not another system to operate.
Who's already on the network
Argos · AS Watson · Amazon · Tesco · Sainsbury's · Morrisons · Co-op · Wayfair, and thousands more. The retailers and partners you need to trade with are already here, trading EDI orders, eInvoices, despatch notices and inventory schedules across the network every day.
The Transalis Business Network isn't a promise, it's running right now.
Onboarding, trade in days, not months
If a retailer has asked you to trade using EDI, this is the easy part. The Transalis managed team handles the connection, the mapping, the testing and the go-live for you. Suppliers are trading in days, not months, with no in-house EDI or eInvoice expertise needed. You bring the retailer relationship; Transalis brings the connection.
If you're a retailer looking to start, improve or switch an existing EDI setup, Transalis OpenEDI™ can onboard thousands of your suppliers within months. You outsource everything to Transalis and we manage the outcome: a fully EDI-compliant supply chain. Transalis DataTrack™ shows every message in real time, and ASIST turns the data moving across the network into orderbook, inventory and demand signals.
Common questions about the Transalis Business Network
What is a B2B trading network?
A B2B trading network is a shared connection that lets thousands of companies exchange orders, invoices and despatch notices without building a separate link to each other. The Transalis Business Network is a managed one, with 15,000+ organisations already on it.
What is the network effect, and why does it matter here?
It means your one connection is worth more the more organisations are on the network. With 15,000+ already trading across the Transalis Business Network, a single connection reaches all of them.
Do I have to join a network to trade with a retailer?
Often, yes. Many retailers require suppliers to trade electronically through a network. Transalis makes joining a days-not-months job, and one connection reaches every retailer on the network, not just one.

How do suppliers get onboarded?
Transalis handles it for you: mapping your data to each retailer's format, testing it, and taking you live. You don't need an EDI or eInvoice specialist in-house.
How long does onboarding take?
Days, not months, for most suppliers. The managed team does the technical work, so your team stays focused on trading.
Is one connection really enough to reach all my retailers?
Yes. That's the point of the network: you connect once, and reach every retailer and partner already on it. You don't set up a new link each time you add a buyer.
Can I see that my orders and invoices actually arrived?
Yes. Transalis DataTrack™ gives you real-time visibility of every message across the network, so nothing goes missing in the dark.
