BetaWrite EDI specifications your whole team can actually maintain
Stop maintaining trading partner specifications in scattered spreadsheets and PDFs. Build, version, and collaborate on partner-specific EDI specs across every standard you support, in one place.
Overview
One system of record for every partner specification
Trading partner specifications tend to live wherever the last person who wrote them left them -- a shared drive, an email thread, a partner's PDF. Sonneteer -- Sonnet's EDI specification builder, also referred to as an EDI specification creator or EDI guide generator -- gives your team one authoritative, versioned place to author and reference every specification, cutting down the guesswork and rework that comes from working off an outdated copy.
Sonneteer is currently in beta: we're onboarding early customers and actively shipping based on their feedback, so expect the feature set and pricing below to evolve. Talk to us if you want in early.
Features
Built for teams managing many partners, not just one
Partner-Specific Specifications
Build specifications that capture each trading partner's exact requirements -- qualifiers, segment usage, and business rules -- instead of forcing every partner into one generic template.
Specification Versioning
Every change to a specification is versioned, so you can see what changed, when, and roll back if a partner update breaks something downstream.
Import / Export
Bring in existing specifications or standard guideline documents, and export finished specs in the formats your EDI or MFT platform expects.
Collaboration
Multiple team members -- and partner-side contacts, where appropriate -- can review and comment on a specification before it's finalized.
EDI Standards
X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, and HL7 -- in one tool
The ANSI standard used predominantly across North American retail, healthcare, and manufacturing supply chains.
The UN/EDIFACT standard common across European and international trading partners.
The UK retail EDI standard still required by a number of legacy trading partner relationships.
The healthcare data exchange standard, for partners and systems in clinical and payer/provider workflows.
Pricing
Scoped to your trading partner community
Because specification volume and standard mix vary widely between businesses, we scope pricing per engagement rather than publishing a flat rate. Tell us how many trading partners and standards you're working with, and we'll put together a quote.

Sonneteer -- frequently asked questions
Can Sonneteer handle more than one EDI standard at once?
Yes. Specifications for X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS, and HL7 all live in the same platform, so a mixed trading partner community doesn't require separate tools.
How does versioning work when a partner changes a requirement mid-year?
Each specification change is captured as a new version with a record of what changed. You can compare versions, and prior versions remain available for reference or rollback.
What does Sonneteer cost?
Pricing depends on the number of trading partners, specifications, and users on your account. As a beta product, early access terms may apply. Contact us for a quote scoped to your environment.
