BRINGING EASIER PRICING TO THE EDI INDUSTRY

By T. Brandon Barker, Founder and CEO

When my brother and I started a tech company called Innova Zones in 2015, we needed an EDI provider to help us exchange information with our trading partners.

We thought it would be easy to research EDI providers, compare the pricing options and make a quick decision.

Wrong.

What we found was a confusing jumble of EDI pricing models. There were start-up fees, transaction fees, connection fees, custom mapping fees and other fees. Some providers charged twice as much for the same services. And some providers wanted outrageous prices for relatively simple services.

As a result, it was nearly impossible to compare prices between one provider and another.

Instead of throwing up our hands and surrendering, we did something different.

We created our own EDI system called the Armor Connect Engine. It’s state-of-the-art, cloud-based and easy to implement. And it gives you all the security, scalability and support of other systems – with one major benefit.

Transparent pricing.

We figure if we were confused about EDI pricing, others would be, too. And we were right.

With the Armor Connect Engine, the pricing is really this simple:

  • Pay a one-time start-up fee of $2500.
  • Pay a monthly fee based on either your number of transactions or number of connections, whatever works best for you.
  • Pay $750 for custom mapping for each trading partner.

And that’s it. There are no hidden fees or “nickel and diming” that can send your EDI bill through the roof.

We even have an online calculator where you can see your costs in just minutes. That certainly beats calling up a dozen providers and still not knowing how much you’re going to pay, like we did.

Many companies are finding that they can significantly reduce their EDI costs with the Armor Connect Engine. When you have a minute, fill out the calculator and see how much you can save every month.
