In this video, I build a logistics analytics dashboard designed to provide key information to a carrier or broker. I start with a simple Next.js app that's connected to Tediware with an API key but has no EDI functionality, then get to work using Claude Code and Tediware's MCP server. Source code is provided.
The X12 reference now has 1,576 sample EDI files covering 334 transaction sets on releases 004010 through 008010. This is, to my knowledge, the largest and most comprehensive free database of sample EDI files on the Internet.
I come across a lot of articles about how AI will change EDI. Few, if any, describe the changes that are already here. This post focuses on support, and you'll see how Tediware saves time and - most importantly - reduces friction between trading partners.
It's been fun watching Meta and OpenAI launch AI products with the design sensibility I developed for Tediware more than two years ago. When I started developing the brand, I wanted something that fit with the vision I had for EDI software that is truly easy to use.
Tediware has launched an official MCP server for EDI, giving builders a new set of tools that unlock significant productivity gains. Developers, EDI professionals and hands-on business operators can easily connect systems and build brand-new applications that send and receive EDI data for any X12 transaction set.
Right now is enterprise software buying season, in which well-intentioned people who have never done the job make purchasing decisions for employees who do.
If you're building software that integrates with X12 EDI and you're struggling to name a database field, don't worry: X12 already named it. Here's when to copy their names, when to store their codes, and when to stray.
