Job description

Wheeler Fleet Solutions is a premier provider of automotive parts supply chain services, supporting commercial and government fleets as well as customers nationwide. We are hiring a Senior EDI Specialist who owns the design, implementation, and ongoing reliability of all B2B integrations across customers, suppliers, logistics partners, and financial institutions. You will be the primary subject‑matter authority on EDI standards, integration patterns, and partner onboarding, ensuring straight‑through processing from Quote to Order to Fulfillment to Cash and Procure to Pay. This role partners closely with Sales Ops, Customer Service/Order Management, Supply Chain, Warehouse Operations, and Finance to reduce errors, compress cycle times, improve OTIF, and accelerate cash.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES: 

Strategy & Architecture

• Define and maintain the EDI and B2B integration roadmap, aligned to enterprise architecture and the operational transformation program (Infor M3/WMS, ION, PIM/MDM, Power BI).
• Establish and enforce mapping standards, naming conventions, versioning, and documentation for all transactions and integration assets.
• Recommend when to use AS2, SFTP, VAN, APIs, or managed services (e.g., SPSCommerce) based on security, cost, and partner capabilities.

Solution Design & Delivery

• Lead the end‑to‑end implementation of new trading partners and transactions: requirements, mapping, transformation, testing, certification, and go‑live.
• Design and build canonical maps for ANSI X12 (e.g., 850, 855, 856, 810, 846, 940/945, 997/999, 820/824), EDIFACT equivalents, and logistics documents (e.g., 204/214, carrier labels/SSCC).
• Integrate EDI with Infor M3 (orders, pricing, ATP, invoicing), Infor WMS (ship confirmations, inventory), and Infor ION workflows/alerts; coordinate with PIM/MDM for master‑data readiness and our legacy AS400 ERP system.
• Create robust error handling and exception management (alerts, retry logic, and reconciliation reports).

Partner Onboarding & Governance

• Own partner enablement, capability discovery, connection setup, envelope parameters, map certification, and SLA sign‑off.
• Drive standardization of partner guidelines to reduce custom mappings and maintenance overhead.
• Maintain an authoritative trading‑partner catalog (contacts, specs, test cases, change logs).

Operations & Reliability

• Monitor EDI traffic, acknowledgements (997/999), and message latency; investigate and resolve failures with urgency.
• Build and publish daily EDI health dashboards and weekly performance metrics (volumes, success rates, cycle time, error rates).
• Lead root‑cause analysis and permanent fixes for systemic issues (mapping defects, master‑data gaps, scheduling conflicts, carrier cut‑offs).

Controls, Security & Compliance

• Ensure audit readiness for order, invoice, and cash‑application integrations.
• Enforce security standards (TLS, certificate management, key rotation) for AS2/SFTP; manage VAN contracts where applicable.
• Maintain change‑control discipline across development, test, and production with complete mapping version history.

Leadership & Enablement

• Partner with Data & Analytics to ensure EDI events feed Power BI models for operational and financial reporting.
• Communicate clearly with non‑technical stakeholders; translate EDI impacts into business outcomes (e.g., DSO improvement, error‑driven credit reduction, OTIF lift).

 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:  

• • Bachelor's degree in [add major] or related field and a minimum of 4 years of relevant work experience
•  or an additional 4 years of relevant work experience in lieu of degree
• 7–10+ years hands‑on EDI/B2B integration experience in distribution, manufacturing, or logistics.
• Deep expertise in ANSI X12 and strong familiarity with EDIFACT; proven delivery of high‑volume 850/855/856/810/846 and warehouse documents 940/945.
• Experience with modern integration platforms, ideally Infor ION (or comparable ESB/iPaaS such as Boomi, MuleSoft) and SPS Commerce (or similar EDI networks).
• Strong ERP/WMS integration background, preferably Infor M3 and Infor WMS (or SAP/Oracle/Dynamics as equivalents).
• Proficiency with AS2, SFTP, VAN connectivity, certificates, encryption, and partner testing/certification cycles.
• Solid understanding of order‑to‑cash and procure‑to‑pay processes, inventory flows, and carrier integrations.
• Excellent documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills. 

PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience in auto/industrial parts distribution or eCommerce order flows.
• Exposure to barcode/labeling standards (GS1, SSCC‑18), UCC‑128, and carrier portals.
• Familiarity with AP/AR automation (e‑invoicing networks, remittance 820), claims/returns workflows, and cash‑application integration.
• Knowledge of cloud integration patterns, message queuing, and event streaming.

Tools & Technologies (representative)

• EDI/Integration: Infor ION, SPS Commerce (or TrueCommerce, OpenText), Boomi/MuleSoft (as analogs), AS2 gateways, VAN portals.
• ERP/WMS: Infor M3, Infor WMS (or equivalents).
• Data/Monitoring: Power BI, SQL Server.
