Produce Pro EDI Integration
Process email, PDF, and EDI orders directly into Produce Pro
Produce Pro (Produce Pro Software) requires third-party tooling for EDI order processing. OrderSync connects via direct API to sync EDI, PDF, and email orders as Produce Pro sales records automatically. Most Produce Pro integrations go live in 2 to 4 weeks.
Produce Pro is the dominant ERP for fresh produce distributors and repackers, built around the things generic ERPs handle badly: catch weight, variable case counts, grower accounting, consignment, PTI and GS1-128 case labeling, and lot traceability from receiving through repack. Produce distributors take far more orders by phone, text, and email than by EDI, against inventory and pricing that move by the hour.
Who Uses Produce Pro?
EDI Challenges for Produce Pro Users
Produce Pro users face specific challenges when they need to process EDI orders from retail trading partners:
Common Pain Points
- Orders arrive by email, text, and phone far more often than by EDI
- Catch weight and variable case counts make quantity extraction error-prone
- Market pricing changes daily, so the price on the customer's document is often stale
- PTI and lot traceability depend on clean order data at intake
- Same-day order-to-ship windows leave no time for manual re-keying
How OrderSync Integrates with Produce Pro
Available today on any Produce Pro deployment that can consume them: EDI 850 purchase orders over SFTP, with 855, 810, 856, and 997 on the same channel. A native connector is available on request and scoped per deployment: Produce Pro API integration, writing sales orders with commodity, variety, and pack size matching against Produce Pro master data.

Frequently Asked Questions
That is the normal case in produce and it is what OrderSync is built for. Email bodies, attached PDFs, spreadsheets, and texted order lists go through the same extraction and validation path as EDI 850s.
Decimal quantities are preserved end to end rather than rounded to whole cases. Rounding catch weight is the single most expensive extraction failure in produce because it is not caught until the invoice dispute.
No, and that is deliberate. Extracted prices are validated against current Produce Pro pricing. Where they disagree, the order is flagged rather than written with a stale market price.
It improves the input to it. Traceability is only as good as the order data it starts from, so validating item, pack, and quantity at intake means lot assignment downstream is working from correct records.
Yes. OrderSync builds a per-customer alias table from your own corrections, so a description that needed review once resolves automatically the next time that customer sends it.
