TRADING PARTNER COMPLIANCE AND CERTIFICATION
SPICE iKompli™ lets suppliers and customers easily test and certify against your EDI standards on their own. They get clear, immediate results. You keep control of what “certified” means and see every test, error and fix along the way.
SPICE iKompli™
THE CHALLENGE
Most enterprises choose between outsourcing EDI testing and losing visibility, or running it in-house and tying up their EDI team. Either way, trading partners wait, and poorly tested trading partners create errors in production.
01
Every test file, error explanation and retest routes through a few specialists.
02
Outsourced testing returns a pass or fail. You can’t see what was tested, or why.
03
Trading partners get cryptic failures, guess at the fix and try again. Each round adds days.
04
Retailers with strict EDI standards, such as Walmart and Costco, expect documents to be right the first time. Failures lead to chargebacks.
WHAT SPICE iKOMPLI™ DOES
EDI compliance means sending documents in the exact format and rules each trading partner requires, so they’re accepted without errors or penalties. With SPICE iKompli™, you publish your standards once. Suppliers and customers test against them on their own, fix what fails and certify. You stay in control. Your EDI team stops being the bottleneck.
Retailers, distributors and manufacturers require suppliers and logistics providers to certify against their standard EDI requirements.
Brands and manufacturers run certification programs for EDI customers ordering against their standard maps.
Trading partners get documents right before they go live, and you see exactly where each one stands.
CORE FEATURES
Every SPICE iKompli™ feature works toward one outcome: trading partners that pass on their own and go live ready.
| SPICE iKOMPLI™ FEATURE | WHAT IT DOES & HOW IT HELPS |
|---|---|
| Reusable Test Programs | Configure your maps, specifications, rules, scenarios and criteria once, then reuse them for every trading partner, retest and new document. |
| Technical Validation | Checks EDI syntax, structure and required data the moment a document is submitted. |
| Business-Rule Validation | Checks your business rules and the relationships between documents, such as whether an invoice matches the original purchase order. |
| Understandable Errors | Trading partners see exactly what failed, why and what to fix, without waiting for an analyst. |
| Relevant Test Data | Trading partners personalize test transactions with their own products and identifiers, then run them through their own systems. |
| Progress Visibility | See every trading partner’s status, completion, errors, last activity and deadlines at risk. |
| Test-Level Collaboration | Questions and answers stay attached to the specific test, keeping a complete record for audits and retesting. |
| Works With Your EDI Program | Runs alongside your existing EDI, VAN or B2B platform, whichever provider you or your trading partners use. |
| SpicY™ AI | SpicY™ tracks the questions trading partners ask and responds with enterprise-approved answers, helping them understand errors and resolve common issues. Complex questions escalate to your team within the test, with the full context attached. |
HOW SPICE iKOMPLI™ WORKS
You configure your standard once and apply it consistently across many trading partners, without managing every test by hand.
01
Trading partners get secure access to the requirements, sample files and test scenarios that apply to them.
02
They prepare test documents in their own systems and submit them for immediate validation.
03
Clear errors show what to fix. SpicY™ helps with common questions, and your team is looped in only when needed.
04
When every required scenario passes, SPICE iKompli™ records the certification and notifies your onboarding process. You keep the final go-live decision.
