About
ECGridOS is a 78 function Web Services API for EDI (electronic data interchange) communications. Software developers and SAAS platform operators may use ECGridOS to gain the EDI global routing and trading partner management authority typically associated with Value Added Networks.
Loren Data Corp was founded in 1987 as an EDI developer and service provider. ECGrid®, Loren Data Corp’s EDI network and messaging reliability service, has been in operation since 2001, and services a cadre of well known electronic commerce networks, VANs, and industry commerce hubs.

ECGrid® is host to 14,000 native trading partner ID’s, and maintains discrete routes to over 600,000 global EDI addresses.
The ECGridOS Web Services API marks the first time that Loren Data Corp has granted programmatic access to the ECGrid network. EDI services can now be consumed internally, and integrated closely with program logic.
ECGridOS can make a real difference in your ERP and 3PL platforms.Using ECGridOS to synchronize user account records with EDI trading partner setup functions eliminates one of the first and most vexing problems related to EDI – the need for external administration for trading partner management and setup.
ECGridOS liberates mutli-tenant platforms from external, non-integrated EDI communications systems. By bringing trading partner setup and message control functions into your application’s code, SAAS platform providers can now distinguish themselves from their competition.
Loren Data Corp operates two data centers with interchanges to 90+ commerce VANs and electronic commerce providers. That’s a lot of QID’s and mailboxes (600,000 estimated QID’s, and 30,000 active daily trading partner transactions) .
ECGrid nominally warrants that all VAN Routes are Reachable. The company operates the industry’s only API and Web accessibel QID directory service. Systems that use ECGridOS are granted the authority of a VAN with transparent x12.56 support. ECGridOS API allows software vendors and hosted services providers to control the the creation of users, accounts and unique EDI mailboxes by the tens, hunders and thousand s if needed. With a WSDL grammar of 90 functions available to your code, any platform can now assume the authority of a Global VAN, backed by Loren Data Corps 20+ years of NetOps experience.
