INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Sporting goods EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Sporting goods EDI connects retail orders for apparel, footwear and equipment with shipment and billing records. Roundhouse performs the electronic processing for wholesale suppliers, preserving the product and packing distinctions in each account.
Let’s talk about your EDI
Footwear sizes and equipment kits need different detail.
A sports collection may combine sized footwear, technical apparel and boxed equipment. We use the item identifiers, quantities and pack definitions appropriate to each line. A kit sold as one unit should not be reported as several unrelated products simply because it contains multiple components.
A seasonal outdoor collection ships in stages.
A retailer orders boots, jackets and camping equipment for the same season. The warehouse releases the available goods in approved shipments. We prepare the corresponding ASNs, labels and invoices from the actual packing records, keeping shipped units distinct from the remaining order balance.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Supply size and color references, kit definitions, destination allocations and actual carton or pallet contents. Confirm any account-specific transport requirements with your logistics team. We handle the document workflow without assuming that every sporting goods category has the same shipping rules.
Roundhouse works through setup and testing, receives the agreed incoming documents, prepares outgoing records and reviews available technical responses. We bring exceptions back to your team for a decision. Our role is hands-on processing, not simply giving you software to operate.
