The Advantage of Choosing a Canadian EDI Provider
When Canadian companies look for EDI services, they often end up working with large U.S.-based providers or global corporations. While those vendors can deliver scale, they often lack something critical: local expertise, flexibility, and hands-on integration experience.
At Namtek Consulting Services, we’ve been delivering EDI and business systems integration projects since 2000 – right here in Canada. Based in Quebec, we support companies across Canada and North America in English and French, helping them exchange EDI documents reliably, securely, and without unnecessary complexity.
We may not be a large corporation, and that’s exactly why our clients choose us.
Who We Are: A Canadian EDI & Integration Partner Since 2000
Namtek Consulting Services is a Canadian B2B integration and EDI services provider.
We deliver EDI integration through fully managed EDI services, a browser-based EDI Web Portal, and developer-focused EDI Web Services (REST API).
For more than 25 years, our team has successfully delivered EDI projects of all sizes, from simple trading partner onboarding to complex, multi-system integrations involving ERP platforms, logistics systems, and custom applications.
Over the years, we have delivered EDI projects of all sizes, from straightforward trading partner onboarding to complex, multi-system integrations involving ERP platforms, logistics systems, and custom applications. Our clients operate across retail, transportation, logistics, manufacturing, and distribution services, including companies without ERP systems as well as enterprises running SAP, Oracle JDE, or proprietary platforms.
Based in Quebec, we support clients across Canada and North America in both English and French. Beyond EDI, our broader B2B integration and software expertise allows us to design EDI solutions that integrate cleanly into real-world business environments — not as isolated technical components.
EDI Doesn’t Have to Be Complex or Expensive
Many Canadian companies assume EDI means:
- expensive enterprise middleware
- long implementation timelines
- heavy IT involvement
- U.S.-based providers with limited local presence
In reality, EDI doesn’t have to be any of that.
At Namtek Consulting Services, we focus on right-sized EDI solutions designed around how your business actually operates. Whether you want everything managed for you, a simple web portal, a developer-friendly API, or full on-premises control, we offer practical EDI options without overengineering.
Fully Managed EDI Service (A–Z)
Our Fully Managed EDI Service is designed for companies that want EDI handled end-to-end by experts.
We take care of everything:
- EDI mapping and translation
- Trading partner setup and certification
- Standards maintenance (X12, EDIFACT, HIPAA, etc.)
- XML / CSV / TXT file conversion
- Secure sending and receiving of EDI documents
- ERP integration (when required)
- Ongoing monitoring and support
All EDI processing runs on our secure private cloud, with flexible monthly pricing that scales up or down based on actual transaction volume.
This solution is ideal for companies that want EDI compliance without internal complexity.
EDI Web Portal: EDI Without an ERP
No ERP or CRM system? No problem.
The EDI Web Portal is a browser-based interface that gives businesses full visibility and control over their EDI documents.
Important clarification (and this matters):
- The EDI Web Portal is not an API
- It is not an ERP
- It is not middleware installed on your servers
It is a user-facing portal that sits on top of a fully managed EDI service.
Through a simple web browser, users can:
- View inbound and outbound EDI documents
- Enter or extract data
- Track document status and history
- Receive alerts and notifications
- Work with multiple trading partners in one place
This solution is especially popular with transportation, freight, and logistics companies, handling documents such as EDI 204, EDI 210, and EDI 214 – but it works across all industries.
The portal can also connect to QuickBooks Cloud, allowing invoices and orders to flow without manual re-entry — while still avoiding full ERP integration.
EDI Web Service (HTTP REST API): Built for Developers
For IT teams and developers, we offer the EDI2XML Web Service – a modern, HTTP-based REST API for EDI translation.
It allows you to:
- Convert EDI (X12) ↔ XML or JSON
- Work with familiar formats – no EDI expertise required
- Integrate EDI into modern applications and workflows
Version 2.0 highlights:
- JSON support (in addition to XML)
- Built-in 997 Functional Acknowledgment returned directly in the API response
- OAuth2 authorization with secure access and refresh tokens
- Support for application/json and application/xml
This service is ideal for companies that want fast, secure, programmatic EDI conversion without contracts or hidden fees.
EDI On-Premises: Full Control, Your Infrastructure
For organizations that require maximum control, we also offer EDI2XML On-Premises deployment.
With this option:
- EDI translation engines are deployed on your servers
- Standard XML schemas are provided
- FTP / sFTP protocols are supported
- Mapping and translation services are managed by our team
This solution is commonly chosen by enterprises with strict security, compliance, or architectural requirements including integrations with SAP, Oracle JDE, and other enterprise systems.
Proven Experience: Real Projects, Real Results
We don’t just talk about EDI – we deliver it.
Over the years, we have successfully delivered integration projects involving:
- Logistics and transportation providers
- Retail and manufacturing companies
- ERP and non-ERP environments
- Complex trading partner ecosystems
You can explore real examples in our case studies, where we detail how our solutions were implemented and the results achieved.
