Which Tool Do I Need?
Start from the problem rather than the format. Most people arrive here holding a file they cannot read, a rejection they cannot explain, or a number they need to justify a project.

Reading and Validating EDI
X12 is positional, delimiter-separated, and unreadable without a decoder ring. The EDI Inspector parses an interchange into annotated segments, checks the envelope (ISA/IEA, GS/GE, ST/SE pairing and control-number matching), flags structural errors, and runs partner-specific checks for Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Costco. It also compares two files segment by segment, which is the fastest way to answer why one order posted and a near-identical one did not.
When you need the data rather than the diagnosis, EDI to JSON converts the file while preserving element positions, including empty ones, so PO107 does not silently shift into PO106. The EDI Translator adds CSV, plain English, and reformatted X12 to the same engine.
SAP shops work in IDocs rather than X12. The ORDERS05 IDoc Validator reads the flat-file format, checks required segments such as E1EDK01 and E1EDP01, and surfaces customer Z-extensions that standard tooling silently ignores.
Getting Orders Out of Documents
Most B2B orders never arrive as EDI. They arrive as a PDF attached to an email, a spreadsheet, or a scan. The PO PDF Extractor and Invoice PDF Extractor pull line items, quantities, addresses, and totals out of those documents without templates to configure, and the Email Order Parser does the same for an order written in the body of a message. If you have a PDF and are not sure whether it is a PO, an invoice or a packing slip, the Document Type Detector classifies it first.
Building the Business Case
Automation projects die on unquantified benefit. The Order Processing Cost Calculator models the full cost of manual entry: keying time plus the rework and short-ship errors that follow. The EDI ROI Calculator adds compliance savings and the payback period. If the question is whether you can start at all, the EDI Readiness Assessment and ERP Integration Checker answer that before you talk to a vendor.
Do These Tools Upload My Files?
The EDI tools do not upload anything. The Inspector, Translator, EDI to JSON, and IDoc Validator parse entirely in your browser. You can disconnect from the network after the page loads and they still work, which you can confirm in your browser's network tab. That matters because EDI files carry customer names, addresses, pricing, and volumes, and pasting one into a hosted validator hands all of it to someone else.
The AI extraction tools (PDF, invoice, and email) do send the document for processing, because the model runs server-side. Nothing is retained beyond the request.
None of these need an account. For programmatic access see the extraction API, and for what each segment and code means, the EDI transaction guides.
