Case Study: NFI achieves 90% faster trading-partner onboarding with Orderful’s Cloud EDI platform

NFI Sets Up New Trading Partners in Days with Orderful’s Cloud EDI Platform

NFI, a leading North American supply‑chain provider, was spending an average of 10 weeks (and in some cases up to six months) to onboard new EDI trading partners while transitioning from a packaged TMS to a homegrown system. To eliminate on‑premises infrastructure and give business users—not IT—control over EDI connections, NFI selected Orderful’s cloud EDI platform and API.

Orderful moved NFI’s EDI into the cloud, enabling business users to build rules, test connections, and troubleshoot in real time without developer support. The result: a 90% reduction in onboarding time (new partners set up in 4–5 days), at least 70 partners live on the platform, tens of thousands of transactions per month, and greater financial flexibility via pay‑by‑transaction pricing.
