# Your customer requires EDI. You pay a fixed price. edi-service.eu connects your ERP system to customers and suppliers via EDI. The software runs on your own server, and an AI sets up the connections according to your partners' requirements. You pay €890 per month, excl. VAT, however many partners and messages you add. [Order the trial](https://app.edi-service.eu/order?lang=en) · [What does an EDI connection cost?](https://edi-service.eu/en/knowledge/edi-costs/) ## Three commitments **1. One price for everything.** €890 per month, excl. VAT. No set-up fee per partner, no fee per message. Whether you connect three partners or thirty, the invoice stays the same. **2. AI-driven setup in 30 minutes.** You upload your customer's EDI implementation guide, the AI reads the message types, identifiers and transmission method from it and builds the connection on your server. The 30 minutes apply to the technical setup, from the installed server to the first test message. **3. New partners in minutes, not months.** Every additional partner follows the same route: upload the documents, confirm what was recognised, test. The technical work takes minutes. How long the joint test with the partner takes is up to the partner. ## A familiar problem A large customer switches to EDI and asks all its suppliers to follow. Often it names a service provider at the same time. The usual route then means a set-up fee per partner and per message type, plus monthly fees per relationship. With small German EDI service providers (known there as clearing centres), that is €400 to €850 one-off per relationship (price lists of cctop and EDI+EXPERTS). With ten partners and three message types each, setup alone adds up to €13,200 to €14,700 (our own calculation from the price lists, see [What does an EDI connection cost?](https://edi-service.eu/en/knowledge/edi-costs/)). And with the next customer, it all starts again. ## How it works 1. **Contract.** You take out the subscription licence and your own contract with an AI provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI). We check at the start that the access works. 2. **Upload documents.** Upload what your customer has sent you: EDI implementation guide, cover letter, sample files. The AI shows what it has recognised, and you confirm or correct it. On top of that come a few questions, 15 at most. 3. **Provide a server.** A dedicated Debian 13 server, a VM is enough. There you run an installation command. It first checks RAM, ports, DNS and outbound connections and then installs the platform from signed packages. There is no SSH access for us: your server itself opens an outbound connection to our central service. You do not open any inbound port for this. 4. **The AI sets things up.** The AI works only through the platform's configuration interface. You create the access for it as a token in the dashboard and can revoke it at any time. The AI builds partners, transmission methods, mappings and the ERP integration, in TEST mode first. 5. **Acceptance and go-live.** Test messages with your partner. Only when you approve does the connection switch to PROD. Every change is logged. ## Price **€890 per month, excl. VAT.** Minimum term 6 months, then cancellable monthly. Payment by invoice, monthly, quarterly or annually as you prefer. Included: - Software on a subscription licence to run on your server - Initial setup by the AI - Integration with your ERP system - Connections to your customers and suppliers in the common EDI formats via AS2, OFTP2, SFTP, HTTPS and email, inbound and outbound ([Which formats exactly?](https://edi-service.eu/en/faq/#formate)) - Any number of partners and messages - Mapping changes when a partner changes its format - Unlimited testing before go-live - Updates and support What you provide: - A dedicated server running Debian 13 (a VM is enough, at least 8 GB of RAM) - Your own contract with an AI provider for a capable model (as of October 2026, for example Claude Opus 5.5 or GPT 6). The AI provider bills you directly; the dashboard shows the usage per setup and per partner connection. - The documents from your trading partners ## Why on your own server With EDI service providers and SaaS services, all your orders, delivery notes and invoices pass through the provider's systems. With edi-service.eu, your day-to-day business data stays on your server. For the setup, the AI reads your partners' implementation guides and sample messages; these documents go to your AI provider, under your own contract. In day-to-day operation, the platform works to fixed rules, without AI. Mappings and configuration are stored on your server and can be exported as a readable file at any time. If you cancel, you take them with you. ## Who is behind it edi-service.eu is a service from fokus it solutions in Sindelfingen, Germany. Your contact is **Jens Musleh**.
