ASNs, Finding the Right Fit for Your Retail Sector and Global Supply Chain Partners


Advance Ship Notices, or ASNs, are probably the EDI transaction that provides the highest value to a retailer through improved visibility and operational efficiencies. Whether a retailer is new to ASNs or expanding its use to additional vendors, the rewards from this sometimes challenging, yet important, transaction are well worth the effort – just ask any retailer that is using it. In this session, retail supply chain expert Scott Bolduc will share his expertise in helping numerous retailers adopt the EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice to advance the fulfillment process.

Attendees will learn:


  • Proven best practices to reap the rewards of the ASN and mitigate its challenges
  • How various retail sectors, including grocery, hardlines and home improvement, can leverage the ASN and address the nuances of their business
  • What factories or sourcing companies can provide in an ASN to streamline the import process
  • Why e-commerce retailers are reliably using ASNs as confirmations of shipments
