Woolworths EDI compliance. Managed, not left to your IT team.
We run your Woolworths EDI integration end-to-end. Your team runs the business.
Woolworths mandates EDI for supplier transactions. Non-compliance means chargebacks, delays, and delisting risk. Flow manages the setup, monitoring, and ongoing compliance so your team doesn’t have to learn EDI.
Woolworths EDI isn’t optional. Getting it wrong is expensive.
Woolworths requires suppliers to exchange purchase orders, invoices, advance ship notices, and goods receipts electronically. If you supply them, EDI compliance is a trading requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Invoice chargebacks
1 to 5% of invoice value. On grocery volumes, that adds up fast.
Order processing delays
Manual re-keying when EDI fails. PO acknowledgement required within the retailer’s timeframe.
Delisting risk
Persistent non-compliance puts your supplier status at risk. 100% compliance on promotional lines. No exceptions.
IT team overload
Your 1 to 3 person IT team is already stretched across ERP, security, and infrastructure. EDI maintenance shouldn’t be their problem too.
We manage your Woolworths EDI. End to end.
Flow connects your ERP to Woolworths and manages the integration on an ongoing basis. Not a one-off build. Not a platform you have to learn. A managed integration partnership where we handle the technical complexity so you don’t have to.
Setup and mapping
We configure the EDI connection between your systems and Woolworths. Purchase orders, invoices, ASNs, goods receipts: all mapped to your specific requirements.
Proactive monitoring
We watch your EDI flows and act before problems reach you. Not waiting for a ticket. Acting on exceptions as they happen.
Ongoing compliance
When Woolworths changes requirements (format updates, new document types, rule changes), we handle it. You don’t need to know it happened.
Business reviews
Regular reviews to assess integration health, transaction volumes, and upcoming changes. You stay informed without carrying the work.
Support when it matters
Something goes wrong at 2am? We’re on it. Your business hours are our business hours, with extended coverage for critical flows.
