INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Home furnishings EDI.
Handled by Roundhouse.
Home furnishings EDI connects retailer orders with furniture, bedding, lighting and decor shipments. Roundhouse performs the electronic processing for suppliers, keeping product units, carton counts and billing references aligned.
Let’s talk about your EDI
One product can travel in several cartons.
A table may ship in separate top and base cartons, while a bedding set may arrive as one packaged selling unit. The number of cartons is not automatically the number of products sold. We use the account’s packing structure and your actual shipment details to represent the goods correctly, including required destination and order references.
A dining set, two releases, one clear record.
A wholesale order includes dining tables and chairs, but the approved shipment releases the tables first. We prepare documents for what actually leaves the warehouse, distinguish the remaining order quantity and use the correct billing units. This helps avoid an ASN or invoice that incorrectly describes the entire order as shipped.
We do the EDI work. Your team stays in control.
Provide SKU and retailer item references, selling units versus shipping packs, multi-carton relationships, pallet or carton identifiers, shipment dates and approved prices. Your logistics team retains control of carrier arrangements and delivery appointments.
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.

These are relevant document functions, not a universal mandate for this industry. Your customer’s current implementation guide determines the versions, required fields, timing and documents in your account. Additional messages are agreed during setup.

| 997 | Functional Acknowledgment | Review technical receipt and syntax status; this is not payment or commercial acceptance. |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Home furnishings EDI FAQs
Can you handle furniture that ships in multiple boxes?
Yes. We use your carton breakdown and the retailer’s assigned packing hierarchy so product quantities are not confused with box counts.
Do you support smaller home accessories too?
Yes. Bedding, decor, lighting and other home products can be handled using their own item and pack details.
Does EDI replace booking a delivery appointment?
No. Shipment documents and delivery appointments are separate tasks. We agree the document handoff with your warehouse or logistics team.
Do we need to operate your EDI software for home furnishings 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.
