THE PROBLEM
Major retail chains require EDI — but connecting is complicated and expensive
Many Swedish suppliers want to sell to ICA, Dagab, COOP and other chains. But these require EDI communication according to the EDIFACT standard. Traditionally this means:
Complex technology
The EDIFACT standard with message types like ORDERS, ORDRSP, DESADV and INVOIC requires specialist expertise and expensive consultants
Slow connection process
Setting up EDI flows with a new chain typically takes months with traditional EDI providers
High costs
Separate systems for EDI, warehouse and accounting — multiple licenses, multiple vendors, no unified view
Testing and approval
ICA, Dagab and other chains require mandatory tests before going live — a process you have to manage yourself
From decision to production — here's how the process works:
You decide
You want to start delivering to a chain via EDI — for example ICA, Dagab or COOP. You contact us.
We handle the connection
CloudOffice communicates directly with the chain and their EDI operator. We configure the flow, create mappings and connect via VAN or directly.
Testing with the buyer
We carry out all mandatory tests required by the chain — test orders, test confirmations, test invoices — until everything is approved.
Production and daily operations
You start receiving ORDERS automatically, confirm with ORDRSP, deliver with DESADV and invoice with INVOIC — all in CloudOffice®.
The solution
CloudOffice® handles everything — you get a ready-made EDI flow

Architecture diagram
Your system as
one connected flow
Integration example: CloudOffice® as the hub — with built-in warehouse management or connected to Fortnox (accounting), Ongoing (external WMS) and EDI customers (ICA, Dagab etc.).
External WMS integration (optional)
Already running an external
warehouse system? We connect it.
If your warehouse already runs an external WMS like Ongoing, CloudOffice® can pull SSCC codes, batch numbers and delivery data from it and create correct DESADV and INVOIC messages automatically. CloudOffice® adapts to your current way of working.
Fortnox Integration
Integration
with Fortnox
Work in Fortnox as usual. Incoming EDI orders are created automatically in Fortnox. Invoices are generated in Fortnox and sent as INVOIC via EDI. CloudOffice® is an official Fortnox integration partner.
Built-in warehouse management
Built-in warehouse management —no external system needed
CloudOffice® has a full warehouse module that handles the entire delivery process directly in the system. Generate pallet labels with SSCC codes and GS1 barcodes, scan pallets and products with connected barcode scanners, manage order picking and shipments, register batch numbers and serial numbers for traceability. All of this happens directly in CloudOffice® — no external warehouse system required.
