What did Amazon's EDI team say about the OpenEDI integration process?

Amazon's EDI team described the integration process as a pleasure to work with, praising the quick response to emails and the fast turnaround of documents. They noted that even with two to three test files required per transaction before passing Amazon's validation checks, requested changes were made very quickly, which they called commendable.

What is AS2 testing and why does it matter for Amazon vendor integration?

AS2 testing checks that a secure, standard connection for exchanging EDI documents works correctly between a vendor and Amazon's systems before it goes live. Underground Toys included AS2 testing within its two week integration timeline, well inside the four weeks Amazon expects vendors to need, showing that thorough testing does not have to slow down onboarding.

How many test files does Amazon require before approving an EDI transaction?

Amazon typically requires two to three test files per transaction before a new vendor's EDI documents pass its validation checks. Underground Toys went through this process as part of its supplier integration and still completed the work in two weeks, half of Amazon's usual four week expectation, thanks to a fast turnaround on requested changes.

Amazon.com., EDI Team

“We would be happy to provide a few comments to you on the Transalis OpenEDI™ integration process with Amazon. It was a pleasure to work with your team. The quick response to emails and quick turnaround of documents was greatly appreciated. Amazon expects vendors to be integrated within 4 weeks. Some take much longer than that. The integration for our supplier Underground Toys took just two weeks from start to finish and included AS2 testing which tends to take other vendors much longer. Even with having 2-3 test files per transaction before passing the Amazon validations, the speed at which the requested changes were made, was very commendable. Thank you”.
