What is x12port?
x12port is a SaaS EDI hosting platform — it provides the infrastructure, dashboards, and tooling
that businesses need to manage their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) relationships. x12port connects you and your
trading partners through the X12 standard, the dominant EDI format in North America.
x12port does not perform custom mapping, EDI implementation, or integration development.
For those services, see our recommended partner CJC Technologies.
