LOUISVILLE, KY – March 25, 2026 – Infocon Systems, a premier provider of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions with over 30 years of industry expertise, announced the launch of a groundbreaking new solution bridging the gap between traditional EDI and artificial intelligence. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Infocon Systems is introducing the industry's first solution that connects modern AI assistants directly to the trading partner networks that power global commerce.

For decades, EDI has served as the backbone of B2B commerce, seamlessly automating transactions between major trading partners like Walmart, Amazon, Target, and thousands more. With the rapid adoption of AI, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as the standard for AI integration. Infocon Systems is uniquely positioned at the intersection of these two worlds, engineering custom MCP servers that grant AI platforms such as Anthropic’s Claude, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Google Gemini direct, secure access to an organization’s EDI workflows, transaction history, and trading partner data.

"Where AI meets EDI is the future of business integration," said a spokesperson for Infocon Systems. We are bridging two powerful protocols, giving AI the unprecedented ability to understand, analyze, and act on critical trading partner data in real-time."

The innovative EDI + MCP integration enables several transformative capabilities for supply chain and operations teams:
Natural Language EDI Queries: Users can bypass complex reporting by simply asking their AI assistant questions like, “Show me all open POs from Walmart over $10,000,” or “What is the status of shipment 12345?” to get instant, accurate answers pulled from 850s, 856s, and other EDI documents.
Automated Exception Handling: AI agents can now proactively detect EDI failures, identify root causes, and suggest or automatically execute fixes before they impact the business.

Inventory and Shipment Intelligence: Users can check EDI 846 inventory data and forecast reorder timing, as well as seamlessly track ASNs (Advance Ship Notices) combined with carrier tracking in a unified view.
Streamlined Partner Onboarding & Compliance: AI can assist with mapping requirements, generating test files for new partner setups, and automatically compiling compliance reports (e.g., on-time delivery, fill rates) based on historical EDI data.

Infocon’s solution creates a unified data layer that seamlessly integrates an organization's existing EDI infrastructure and ERP systems (such as SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Dynamics 365) with modern AI platforms. The company offers custom MCP server development tailored to work seamlessly alongside a business's existing EDI setup.
