Manual integration looks cheaper until you add up the true cost.
A senior developer costs £500/day or more. A single EDI integration — parsing, mapping, error handling, testing — takes 40 to 60 days to build properly. That is £30,000 per integration, before maintenance.
One partner sends X12 850s over AS2. Another sends CSV over SFTP. A third uses a custom REST webhook. Each one needs its own custom parser and mapping — built and maintained separately.
Specs change. Partners upgrade their systems. Retailers update their compliance requirements. Your custom parsers break, and someone has to fix them — usually at 2am when a critical order fails.
Every part of your custom integration stack — automated.
Manual integration is not free — it just looks that way until you count the hours.
One integration costs £30,000 to build manually and months to maintain. Aduno starts at £79/month and handles as many integrations as you need.
Your developers should be building your product — not writing X12 parsers. Let Aduno handle the B2B translation layer so your team can focus on what matters.
