EDI Managed Services Pricing — what it actually costs
In short: EDI managed services pricing typically depends on document volume, number of trading partners and whether ERP integration is included. EDIconnect's Web EDI managed service starts at 24 €/month and scales progressively as volume grows.
Key capabilities
- Volume-based tiers: Pricing scales with the number of documents processed per month, so a supplier with 1-2 retailers pays far less than a high-volume distributor.
- No hardware or license fees: Because it's delivered as Web EDI, there is no server, license or infrastructure cost added on top of the monthly subscription.
- Starts at 24 €/month: Entry-level plans for low document volume start at 24 €/month per company, with predictable step-ups as volume grows.
- ERP integration available: Connecting your ERP (SAP, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, Odoo and others) can be added on top of the base Web EDI plan.
What drives the cost of an EDI managed service
The single biggest driver of EDI managed services pricing is document volume: a supplier exchanging a few dozen purchase orders and invoices a month with one or two retailers has very different needs than a distributor processing thousands of documents across dozens of trading partners. Pricing models that scale progressively with volume, rather than charging a flat enterprise rate regardless of usage, are generally the better fit for small and mid-size businesses.
The second driver is scope: whether the service covers only document exchange through a web portal, or also includes ERP integration, proactive monitoring, and support for retailer-specific onboarding and testing. Bundled services tend to have a higher entry price than pure software licenses, but eliminate the need to separately budget for consulting or an in-house EDI specialist.
How EDIconnect structures its pricing
EDIconnect prices its Web EDI service starting at 24 €/month for low-volume suppliers, with the price increasing progressively as document volume grows — there is no large upfront license fee or mandatory annual contract to get started. Onboarding, including the setup of GLN/GTIN mapping and testing with each retailer, is included rather than billed as a separate consulting project.
ERP integration and advanced API access (OAuth2, Postman collection, webhooks, sandbox) are available on top of the base plan for customers who want documents to flow automatically without manual entry in the portal. This structure means a supplier can start small with just the Web EDI portal and add ERP integration later without switching providers.
Frequently asked questions
How much do EDI managed services cost per month?
EDIconnect's Web EDI managed service starts at 24 €/month for low document volume (roughly 10-50 documents/month) and increases progressively with volume — there is no fixed enterprise-only pricing tier.
What factors affect EDI managed services pricing?
The main drivers are monthly document volume, the number of trading partners connected, whether ERP integration is included, and whether advanced API access with sandbox and webhooks is required.
Is there a setup fee?
Onboarding, including account setup, GLN/GTIN mapping and retailer testing, is included in the subscription rather than billed as a separate large upfront project fee.
Does pricing include ANAF e-Factura and e-Transport?
Yes, ANAF e-Factura and e-Transport compliance are part of the same Web EDI service, so you don't need a separate subscription for Romanian e-invoicing obligations.
Is API access priced separately?
Advanced API access — with OAuth2 authentication, a Postman collection, webhooks and a sandbox environment — is available as part of higher-volume plans for customers who want to integrate programmatically instead of using the web portal.
How does Web EDI pricing compare to classic EDI?
Classic EDI (on-premise AS2/OFTP2 server, licenses, dedicated IT) typically costs many times more than a Web EDI subscription once infrastructure and staffing are included, which is why most small and mid-size suppliers choose Web EDI instead.
