Last updated Refreshed quarterly 9 cited sources

With Tediware, you build your EDI integration with AI, giving you full control for much lower fees than traditional EDI companies. At Infocon Systems, its EDI staff1 build the field mappings and translation rules for your ERP and each trading partner's specifications.

Infocon's pricing page2 publishes no prices and directs you to call or fill in a form for a quote. Tediware's Developer plan is $0 for 800 transactions a month with unlimited trading partners, and Growth is $100 a month for 6,000 transactions, then $0.0150 each.

Tediware's transparent pricing is typically 1/10th to 1/3rd the cost of traditional EDI companies like Infocon, which says its setup cost varies2 by trading partner, transaction type and protocol.

Partner setup and mapping at Infocon Systems is handled by Infocon's team1. With Tediware, adding a partner carries no per-partner fee, and AI turns that partner's PDF spec into an implementation and writes a mapping validated against it. Your coding agent can work in your Tediware account through the MCP server while it builds the integration in your codebase.
