INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Toys & games EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Toy and game EDI carries retail orders and shipment information for individual products, assortments and promotional displays. Roundhouse handles the document processing so each shipped configuration stays connected to the buyer’s order.
Let’s talk about your EDI
An assortment is a specific fulfillment promise.
A mixed toy assortment or display can represent a defined combination of products. We use the account’s assigned identifiers and your approved composition rather than treating the display as an arbitrary collection of pieces. Holiday releases and destination allocations also need to stay connected to the correct order references.
A holiday display changes before packing.
A retailer orders a display containing several games, but one component becomes unavailable. Your team resolves the change with the buyer. We process the approved revision and prepare shipping records for the final confirmed contents, avoiding documents that still describe the original assortment after the physical pack has changed.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Provide product identifiers, assortment definitions, release quantities, carton details and approved invoice values. Safety documentation and age recommendations remain product responsibilities; an accepted EDI file is not a product compliance certificate.
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.
