David Jones EDI made easy with AIMS360 apparel ERP. Automate 850 POs, 856 ASNs, 810 invoices, GS1-128 SSCC labels, & DESADV/ORDERS/INVOIC EDIFACT for David Jones bulk and dropship across Australia & New Zealand.
Connect AIMS360 directly to David Jones for fully automated dropship and bulk EDI — 850 / ORDERS purchase orders, 856 / DESADV advance ship notices, 810 / INVOIC invoices, 846 / INVRPT inventory feeds, and GS1-128 SSCC carton labels — across every David Jones fulfilment node in Australia and New Zealand, in one fashion ERP.
Whether you sell to David Jones as a wholesale supplier into the DC, run a David Jones digital concession, fulfil dropship orders for davidjones.com, or do all three — AIMS360 connects every channel through certified EDI and a single inventory pool. The same is true for David Jones New Zealand and the David Jones boutique formats at Barangaroo and James Street Brisbane.
Automate David Jones dropship orders end-to-end. The moment davidjones.com transmits an EDI 850 PO (or EDIFACT ORDERS), AIMS360 reserves inventory in the OMS, prints a compliant pick ticket, and queues the carton in your warehouse — with the 856 ASN (DESADV) and 810 invoice (INVOIC) firing back automatically at scan-and-ship.
Manage high-volume bulk POs going to the David Jones distribution centre and store-level shipments to all 40 David Jones locations across Australia and New Zealand. AIMS360 handles GS1-128 / SSCC-18 carton labelling, pack-by-store, prepack ratios, and the full 850 → 856 → 810 cycle from one apparel ERP.
David Jones requires accurate inventory at every fulfilment node. The AIMS360 OMS + WMS publishes a real-time 846 (INVRPT) inventory feed across every fulfilment location — your own DC, your 3PL, or even ship-from-store from your boutiques. Prevent oversells on davidjones.com while keeping Shopify, NuORDER, and Myer in sync.
AIMS360 sits between David Jones and your warehouse, translating every EDI document into action — and turning every action back into a compliant EDI message David Jones expects. The same flow runs whether your David Jones EDI uses ANSI X12 (the format most North-American–owned trading partners and EDI gateways default to) or UN/EDIFACT (more common across Australian retail, where ORDERS / DESADV / INVOIC are the workhorse messages).
David Jones transmits the PO (EDI 850 / EDIFACT ORDERS). AIMS360 imports it, validates against your product catalogue, and applies vendor-specific business rules.
AIMS360 sends the 855 (or EDIFACT ORDRSP) to confirm acceptance, substitutions or backorders to David Jones — keeping your supplier scorecard healthy.
The OMS reserves units across your DCs and 3PLs. The WMS releases the order to pick with the correct ship-by date enforced.
Mobile barcode scanning, GS1-128 SSCC carton labels, David Jones–compliant packing slips, and carrier rate-shop across Australia Post, StarTrack, Aramex, Toll and DHL — all native to AIMS360.
The 856 (or EDIFACT DESADV) advance ship notice fires the moment the last carton is scanned — eliminating the #1 source of David Jones chargebacks.
AIMS360 invoices David Jones automatically through accounting (810 / INVOIC) and publishes updated 846 / INVRPT inventory feeds across every David Jones programme — bulk, dropship, concession, NZ.
David Jones exchanges EDI in both ANSI ASC X12 and UN/EDIFACT depending on the supplier's setup and the EDI gateway in use. AIMS360 speaks both fluently — one fashion ERP, no translation layer, no per-document fees.

David Jones is the oldest continuously operating department store in the world still trading under its original name.

David Jones curates a luxury and contemporary offering across fashion (Womenswear, Menswear, Kidswear), beauty (skincare, cosmetics, fragrance), homewares, food and technology — from international luxury labels through to Australian designer brands like C&M Camilla and Marc, Aje, Camilla, R.M.Williams, SKIMS and many of the Country Road Group labels. The David Jones Rewards loyalty programme has over 2.4 million members.
Under Anchorage Capital Partners ownership since March 2023, David Jones has committed to a three-year ~$65M technology transformation as part of its Vision 2025+ strategy — including the Style Arcade buying / merchandising platform, refreshed e-commerce on eStar, and store refurbishments across Bourke Street, Bondi Junction, Chatswood Chase, Southland and Burwood. For suppliers, this means tighter data expectations and stricter EDI compliance.
Following the global Marks & Spencer wholesale launch in 2025 and ongoing partnerships like Reloop (GlamCorner) for circular fashion and The Volte for designer rental, David Jones is actively expanding its dropship and digital-concession supplier mix — opening more doors to apparel and beauty brands that can plug in via certified EDI quickly and run dropship without inventory drag.
Most David Jones EDI options are gateways — they sit between your accounting or ERP and David Jones, translating messages and charging per document.
