INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Footwear EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Roundhouse does the EDI work for footwear brands, manufacturers and wholesale suppliers. We process retailer purchase orders by style, color, size and width, then prepare ASNs, carton labels and invoices from your confirmed shipments.
Let’s talk about your EDI
Every size and width belongs on the right order line.
A shoe style can have multiple colors, sizes and widths, each with its own product reference. We keep those references tied to the buyer’s order, including quantities expressed in pairs and approved size-run assortments. Your warehouse’s carton breakdown connects the ordered assortment to the shipment record and its labels.
A size run, packed for several retail destinations.
A footwear retailer orders one sneaker in two colors across a range of sizes. Some cartons contain a fixed size assortment; others contain replenishment pairs in a single size. Roundhouse uses your confirmed carton contents and destination allocations to prepare the ASN and matching labels. Any short-shipped size is reflected in the approved shipment and invoice quantities.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Your team provides item cross-references, size and width definitions, units of measure, assortment ratios and actual packing details. We use those records to prepare the retailer’s electronic documents and bring missing references or order differences back to you for resolution.
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.
