We make EDI work for you
E-Commerce Solutions by Canucks builds EDI translation, US/CA Customs (ACE) connectivity, and AS/400 tooling for trucking and logistics companies - no rip-and-replace, no third-party VAN required.
Most EDI vendors ask a trucking company to change dispatch software, add a middleman VAN, or hire a programmer every time a trading partner changes a spec. We took the opposite approach: our tools run alongside IES, LTL/400, and TMW dispatch systems on your AS/400 (iSeries), so upgrades don't mean starting over.
That's meant staying in one lane for nearly three decades - EDI mapping, US/CA Customs filing, and the AS/400 infrastructure underneath it - while the trucking companies we work with keep their own systems intact.
What we do, itemized like the shipping paperwork we help you process.
Purpose-built applications and reports for your iSeries environment.
Migrate or modernize existing AS/400 applications without losing history.
Sites, portals, and email hosting built and maintained end-to-end.
New trading partner onboarding, map changes, and staff training on your own maps.
Ongoing remote administration and troubleshooting for your iSeries.
Get your iSeries securely connected and talking to the outside world.
From customs filing to trading-partner rules, each product was built after a real IES or TMW dispatch shop asked for it.
Direct-connect filing to US Customs (ACE/CBP) and Canadian CSA carrier requirements - the only customs solution written natively for the iSeries, with full IES and LTL/400 integration.
Runs outside your IES or TMW dispatch environment - no source access required - so a software upgrade never forces an EDI retrofit. Since the logic is switch-based, updates are only needed when a new switch is introduced, cutting mapping, testing, and maintenance costs. Compatible with Inovis TrustedLink/400, ESC Trucks/400, and other EDI translators on request, with REST API connectivity for trading partners moving away from traditional EDI transport.
Our own AS/400-native EDI translator, built to cut the rising cost of EDI. Supports FTP, SFTP, BISYNC, and LU6.2, and integrates with most AS2 solutions. Removes the need for mapping while still letting you run multiple VANs or go direct via FTP/SFTP to save further. The included ESC EDI Mapper/400 module lets customers build their own maps in-house instead of contracting it out.
Business-rule edits that check data before it reaches a trading partner - hold shipment status until an invoice exists, enforce a trailer or BOL format, and more.
Carrier-to-carrier EDI for interlining and load transfers - send and receive EDI with other carriers, move loads between multiple companies on the same AS/400, and auto-update orders through dispatch, load, and empty statuses. When a partner carrier reports a status, ESC Logistics Suite builds the shipment status message for you and passes it straight through the IES EDI module.
