Case Study: Parts Authority streamlines EDI integration and invoice fulfillment with CData Arc

Parts Authority Saves Time and Developer Resources with Automated EDI Processing

Parts Authority, a leading U.S. auto parts distributor, needed a more scalable way to manage EDI purchase orders and invoices across a complex supply chain. The company had been relying on custom, manual integrations to exchange EDI 850 purchase orders and 810 invoices with customers, but those one-off builds were time-consuming and difficult to maintain as requirements varied by customer. To solve this, Parts Authority turned to CData and its CData Arc product.

With CData Arc, Parts Authority streamlined EDI document sharing using a no-code, visual mapping interface that let the team quickly connect systems and reuse workflows with only minor adjustments. CData also helped the company improve governance and troubleshooting through status alerts and automated error notifications, reducing the need to dig through code and server logs. As a result, Parts Authority can now build integrations in minutes, eliminate custom ad hoc development, and focus engineering time on higher-value work.
