Commport Communications and Tediware Partner to Offer Businesses Two Ways to Do EDI on One Trusted Network

Commport’s managed EDI and Tediware’s AI self-serve platform give businesses the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their needs.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Commport Communications, a Toronto-based provider of EDI, GDSN and B2B integration solutions founded in 1985, today announced a new partnership with Tediware, a self-serve, AI-assisted EDI platform. The partnership gives businesses a choice in how they manage EDI, whether they want EDI fully managed for them or the tools to build and manage their own integrations in-house. Both options run on the Commport Value Added Network (VAN), a backbone with more than 40 years of continuous operation and a 99.99% uptime track record.

Not every company has, or wants, in-house EDI expertise, and not every company wants to outsource it. Rather than force trading partners into a single model, Commport and Tediware are giving them a choice in how they connect while both run on the same dependable network.

Commport’s managed EDI service is built for businesses with limited or no dedicated EDI staff. Commport’s specialists handle mapping, testing, and onboarding for each trading partner connection. Commport backs the service with over 5,000 established trading partner connections, more than 1,200 customers, over 140,000 transactions processed daily, SOC 2 Type II certification, and a 100% Canadian-based support team available 24/7.

Tediware is built for teams that want direct control over their EDI integrations. Its AI-assisted mapping workflow turns a trading partner’s implementation guide into a machine-readable schema, then generates, tests, and iterates the data transformation using sample data. Tediware is a licensed X12 partner supporting transaction sets from release 3060 onward, offers a documented REST API, webhooks, and CLI, and includes built-in SFTP and AS2 connectivity for direct connections.

“Not every business wants or needs the same relationship with their EDI provider,” said Nathan Dunn, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Commport Communications. “Some of our customers want a fully managed solution, where our specialists map, test and onboard trading partners so it’s simply off their plate. Others want to manage EDI themselves and have direct control over their own maps. Partnering with Tediware means we can support both, without asking anyone to compromise on the reliability of the network underneath.”

“Tediware’s simple, robust APIs and thoughtfully designed AI features make the hard parts of EDI easy. Our partnership with Commport delivers a network with 40 years of uptime behind it and gives our customers simplified connectivity to thousands of trading partners.” said Adrian Duyzer, founder of Tediware.

Both Commport and Tediware are independently operated and are not owned by private equity, a distinction the companies say shapes how the partnership itself was built. Because product, partnership, and support decisions aren’t driven by pressure to maximize short-term returns, the companies ensure the chosen solution is the right fit for the client and their requirements. “Clients win when they have the options that pair best with their needs.” added Nathan Dunn.

Because both options run on the same Commport VAN, businesses aren’t locked into their initial choice. Trading partner connections don’t need to be rebuilt from scratch if a company’s needs change, whether that means hiring in-house EDI talent and bringing mapping in-house using Tediware, or handing a growing EDI workload back to Commport’s managed team. Additional information for businesses evaluating the two models, including a full feature comparison, is available on Commport’s website.
