What Our Clients Say
“Al Rafay Consulting was an outstanding partner in developing our internal pipeline tracker. They took a detailed upfront inventory of the team's existing tools and processes, as well as areas our overall system could improve.

Adam Goldblatt
Director, Investments

“BioMed Realty engaged ARC 7 years ago originally to kick start an internal SharePoint campaign with the goal of increasing productivity through workflow automation. We've now grown our work with SharePoint into a full blown Business Intelligence platform that has created tremendous efficiency and value for our organization.”
David Hsiao
Senior Vice President, CIO

Kelly Bargabos
CFO/COO
San Diego Theatres
“Working with ARC over the past 3 years has been nothing short of exceptional. The team has everything that you would look for in a consultant and then some.

Frequently Asked Questions
What EDI standards do you support?
We support all major EDI standards including ANSI X12 (North America), EDIFACT (Europe/International), TRADACOMS (UK retail), and EANCOM. We also handle proprietary formats required by specific trading partners.
Can you integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. We integrate with major ERP systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Sage, Infor, and others. We can work with file-based, API, or database integration methods.
How long does partner onboarding take?
Simple partner onboarding with standard documents takes 1-2 weeks. Complex partners with custom requirements or extensive testing may take 4-6 weeks. After initial setup, we can automate onboarding for faster future additions.
What about real-time integration vs batch EDI?
We support both. Traditional EDI often runs in batches (hourly, daily), while modern APIs enable real-time integration. Our hybrid approach lets you use the right method for each partner and use case.
How do you handle EDI errors and chargebacks?
Our platform includes validation rules, exception handling, and automated notifications. We help you identify error patterns, fix root causes, and implement compliance rules to reduce chargebacks by 80% or more.
Do you offer managed EDI services?
Yes. Beyond implementation, we offer managed EDI services including 24/7 monitoring, partner support, document mapping updates, and ongoing optimization as your trading partner network evolves.
