Native Mason Companies EDI in AIMS360 for apparel, footwear and home goods brands: purchase orders in, GS1-128 cartons, and the 856 and 810 from one shipment, on one stock record.
Mason Companies is a family-owned catalog and online retailer in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, founded in 1904 as a shoe maker. It now sells apparel, accessories, home goods and appliances through catalogs and sites such as Stoneberry and Masseys. AIMS360 runs its EDI on your one stock record.
Yes. Mason Companies is a live AIMS360 EDI trading partner. Its purchase orders arrive as the 850 and become sales orders against your styles, colors and sizes. AIMS360 prints GS1-128 carton labels, sends the 856 ship notice and bills the 810 invoice from the same shipment.
Mason sells by catalog and online rather than in stores, with a single outlet store in Chippewa Falls. The vendor guide it gives your brand says where orders ship and which documents and labels it expects. Our EDI team builds to that guide.

Built from the records that run your inventory.
| Document | Direction | How AIMS360 handles it |
|---|---|---|
| EDI 850 purchase order | Mason to you | Imported as a sales order and matched to your catalog by UPC, with the ship-to, ship date and cancel date on the order. |
| EDI 856 ship notice (ASN) | You to Mason | Built from the cartons your team packed and scanned, and sent when the shipment closes. |
| EDI 810 invoice | You to Mason | Generated from the same shipment, so the PO, the ASN and the invoice agree line for line. |
| EDI 997 acknowledgment | Both ways | Returned for each document received and tracked for each one sent. |
| GS1-128 carton label | On every carton | Printed as cartons close, with the same SSCC written into the 856. |
| EDI 855, 860 and 846 | If the guide lists them | Acknowledgments, changes and inventory, built into the same connection when your vendor guide asks for them. |
This is the standard retailer set AIMS360 runs. The vendor guide Mason Companies gives your brand sets the exact list and the label.
Mail dates, mixed categories and one stock record.
A catalog buy is planned around a mail date. The ship and cancel dates on the 850 land on the order, so allocation and picking work to them.
Sized apparel, footwear with widths and one-size home goods sit on their own style records, and one shipment can carry a mix. See size matrix.
Mason draws on the same inventory as your stores, marketplaces and web orders. Allocation rules decide who gets the short sizes.
Our EDI team runs this with you.
Your Mason buyer issues the vendor number. Ask for the vendor guide and send it to our EDI team.
Add the vendor number, ship via and terms, pick the trading partner and switch on the documents the guide lists.
Add the receiving location from the guide so its code matches the 850.
Approve a sample GS1-128 label, run a test 850 through the 856 and 810, then we watch the first live order.
Yes. Mason Companies is a live AIMS360 EDI trading partner. Purchase orders import as sales orders, and the 856 and 810 go back from the shipment your team packed.
A family-owned catalog and online retailer in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, founded in 1904 as a shoe maker. It sells apparel, accessories, home goods and appliances.
In 2019 it listed nine catalog and web brands, including Stoneberry, Masseys, Maryland Square, K. Jordan, Mason Easy-Pay, Shoemall and Figi's Gallery. Ask your buyer which one your order is for.
No. EDI is built into AIMS360 as an add-on on any plan, Bronze through Gold, with unlimited transactions and a trading partner line for each retailer. There are no per-document, VAN or kilocharacter fees. See pricing.
If it is your first EDI retailer, it goes live inside the AIMS360 implementation, which runs 3 to 16 weeks. A retailer added later usually takes 2 to 4 weeks, and the variable is mostly the retailer's own testing calendar.
