AIMS360’s Burlington EDI integration helps apparel brands and wholesalers send and receive electronic purchase orders (EDI 850), advance ship notices (EDI 856) and invoices (EDI 810) without middleware. Synchronize styles, inventory, orders and shipments in real time to eliminate manual data entry and reduce costly errors. Perfect for Burlington’s bulk and dropship programs, this built‑in EDI keeps you compliant and ready to scale.
Burlington sources merchandise from manufacturers, wholesalers and closeout suppliers for its off‑price retail chain and online store . Like most major retailers, Burlington mandates Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for documents such as purchase orders, advance ship notices and invoices . Sending PDF invoices or manually retyping orders introduces delays and errors . Instead, Burlington requires suppliers to use ANSI X12‑v4010 EDI transactions —including the 850 purchase order, 856 ship notice, 810 invoice, 824 application advice, 852 product activity and 997 functional acknowledgment . Complying with these standards ensures your orders flow directly into Burlington’s system without manual intervention.
AIMS360 is the #1 apparel ERP with its own built‑in EDI integration , so you don’t need middleware to trade documents with Burlington. When Burlington sends an EDI 850 purchase order, it flows directly into AIMS360, updating inventory across colors and sizes and triggering production or fulfillment workflows . You can compare bulk order projections against actual POs to prevent overstock or shortages . As orders are packed at your warehouse or 3PL, AIMS360 automatically generates EDI 856 advance ship notices and UCC‑128 labels, then issues the corresponding EDI 810 invoices. This automation supports both Burlington’s bulk shipments to distribution centers and dropship orders sent directly to consumers .
Burlington’s EDI program is built on strict document standards; failure to comply can trigger chargebacks. AIMS360 handles all required transaction sets—from 810 invoices and 856 ASNs to 824 application advice and 997 acknowledgments—ensuring your data is always properly formatted . Automating these exchanges reduces manual errors and accelerates cashflow, saving you time and money . The integration also provides live visibility into orders, shipment statuses and sales activity. Connecting EDI with your ERP centralizes updates so staff, stakeholders and business partners are always informed. Real‑time sales data from Burlington (via EDI 852) helps you forecast demand and adjust inventory proactively , while advance freight and carrier updates keep your logistics team ahead of potential delays .
