INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Electronics & appliances EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Electronics and appliance EDI links the model ordered by a retailer to the goods shipped and billed. Roundhouse performs the document processing for wholesale suppliers, using the exact account references and approved fulfillment information.
Let’s talk about your EDI
Model numbers need an exact match.
A similar model name can hide a different capacity, finish, bundle or regional configuration. We use your item cross-reference to keep those distinctions intact. Serial numbers, when requested by the account, are an additional detail; they do not replace the order’s model or product identifier.
An appliance order with separate accessories.
A shipment includes appliances and separately ordered accessory kits. We retain the correct lines and units rather than folding every accessory into the appliance quantity. If a release is partial, the ASN and invoice reflect the approved shipment, with the remaining quantity distinguishable from what has already been billed.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Supply retailer and supplier model references, unit and pack definitions, actual shipment quantities and required serial data. Your team confirms substitutions and warranty arrangements; we do not infer that a newer model is commercially interchangeable.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Electronics & appliances EDI FAQs
Does every electronics ASN require serial numbers?
No universal rule applies. We check the assigned account instructions and include serial information where required and supported.
Can you process appliance and accessory lines together?
Yes. Each ordered line retains its own identifier, quantity and billing basis.
Can you replace a discontinued model on an order?
Your team and buyer must approve the commercial change. We process the agreed electronic response or revised document.
Do we need to operate your EDI software for electronics & appliances orders?
No. Roundhouse performs the agreed EDI work. Your team provides accurate product and shipment data and approves commercial decisions; you do not need to install or learn our EDI software.
