Any file over MFT

You can now trade any file format through Orderful — not just standard EDI.

What's New?

One place for all your trading activity — Any file exchanged between trading partners is a business document — and in Orderful, a transaction. Transactions all appear in the same Transaction List regardless of whether they are standard EDI transactions or Any file, with similar filtering, search, and action capabilities.
Any file format supported — Trade CSV, XML, PDF, flat files, images, and more alongside your existing standard EDI transactions.
New formats can be added on demand — contact Orderful support.
Supported transaction types — A set of approved transaction types is available at launch: RAW_ORDER, RAW_INVOICE, RAW_ADVANCE_SHIP_NOTICE, RAW_PROOF_OF_DELIVERY, RAW_BILL_OF_LADING, RAW_SHIPMENT_STATUS, RAW_INVENTORY, RAW_ORDER_CHANGE, and more. New transaction types can be added on demand — contact Orderful support.
Compatible with all communication channels supported in Orderful — API, AS2, FTP, SFTP, Poller, and HTTP.

How Does It Work?

When trading non-EDI files, Orderful applies MFT — Managed File Transfer — processing. Files are securely routed and passed through from sender to receiver as-is, with no EDI processing applied: no validation, no conversion, no transformation, no acknowledgment reconciliation, no workflow tracking.

Why Does It Matter?

Not all trading partners communicate through standard EDI.
Some enforce proprietary or legacy file formats your systems are expected to support.
Others are simply not EDI-capable and rely on CSV, XML, or flat files instead.
And some business workflows involve supporting documents — Proof of Delivery PDFs, Bills of Lading, labels — that have no EDI equivalent but are critical to the business process.

Until now, these files had to be managed outside of Orderful, fragmenting visibility across your trading activity. Any file over MFT lets you bring all of it into one place.
