Ward Transport and Logistics
EDI
Ward Transport and Logistics supports Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for computer to computer exchange of data. EDI eliminates paper documents and provides a more efficient, accurate and timely exchange of information.
The preferred method of transmission is direct FTP. FTP eliminates VAN transmission fees, a cost savings to both parties. If a partner has an established FTP server, Ward Transport and Logistics will connect to your server to place and/or retrieve EDI transactions. If you prefer, we offer you the ability to connect to our FTP server to drop off inbound EDI files as well as retrieve outbound EDI documents.
Ward Transport and Logistics will transmit via VAN if direct FTP is unavailable.

- Secondary VAN: Kleinschmidt 847-945-1000
