What is Nordstrom EDI?

Nordstrom EDI covers two programs: Nordstrom Retail, replenishment for Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack distribution centers, and Nordstrom Product Group, for suppliers producing Nordstrom’s private-brand merchandise, including Import and Canada. Both use the purchase order, ship notice, and invoice; Nordstrom marks the purchase order acknowledgment as not required.

Nordstrom was the second retailer ever connected to our platform. We’ve supported Nordstrom suppliers longer than almost any other retailer we work with, and we keep pace with Nordstrom’s supplier compliance program as it changes, from GS1-128 label certification to store and DC address updates and quarterly supplier operations bulletins. Whether you sell branded goods to Nordstrom or produce for Nordstrom’s own labels, Tech85 connects you to the right program.

Ensure compliance, efficiency, and growth by connecting with Nordstrom through Tech85’s custom-fit EDI solutions.

Why Nordstrom suppliers choose Tech85

One of our longest-running retail connections. Nordstrom has been on our platform since nearly the beginning. The connection is mature, tested, and continuously maintained.
Label certification, handled. Nordstrom requires suppliers to certify GS1-128 labels before shipping. We produce labels to Nordstrom’s certification instructions and work through the test process with you.
The right label for the right program. Nordstrom Retail and Nordstrom Product Group use different label formats. We apply the correct one for each shipment.
Current store and DC information. We maintain Nordstrom’s store and DC address list, most recently updated in August 2026, so freight is addressed correctly.
Invoicing Nordstrom can reconcile. Nordstrom Retail uses summary invoicing, and we bring remittance detail back into your system so payments tie out.
Compliance updates tracked. We follow Nordstrom’s supplier compliance guide and quarterly supplier operations newsletters and update your connection when requirements change.

How it works

Identify your program. Tell us whether you sell to Nordstrom Retail, produce for Nordstrom Product Group, or both.
We configure your connection. Both programs are already built on our platform.
We test and certify. Documents are tested with Nordstrom, and labels are certified to Nordstrom’s instructions.
You go live. Orders flow in, and ship notices and invoices flow back automatically.

Technical notes

Nordstrom Retail uses separate identifiers for orders and ship notices, and non-standard delimiters on invoices and ship notices. We configure both. Nordstrom’s own guidelines mark the purchase order acknowledgment and product activity as not required. We don’t send acknowledgments unless Nordstrom asks for them, and we support product activity when your program uses it. Nordstrom Product Group uses its own identifiers and standard delimiters.

Frequently asked questions

Tech85

How long does it take to become EDI-compliant with a new retailer?

Most Tech85 clients complete EDI onboarding and testing in 6–8 days, compared to the 6–8 weeks common with legacy EDI providers — because setup is handled by our team, not left to you to configure alone.

What if I’m already compliant but want to switch providers?

Tech85 maps your existing trading partner connection during onboarding, so there’s no gap in order processing and no need to renegotiate your relationship with the retailer.

Nordstrom

What EDI documents does Nordstrom require?

Nordstrom requires the purchase order (850), advance ship notice (856), invoice (810), and functional acknowledgment (997). PO changes (860) are optional, and we support them. Nordstrom Retail also sends remittance advice (820) and, for some programs, product activity (852).

What is the Nordstrom supplier portal used for?

Nordstrom publishes its supplier compliance guide, GS1-128 label certification instructions, packing label examples, store and DC address lists, and supplier operations newsletters for its vendors. We keep all of it on file and apply it to your connection.

What does Nordstrom require for carton labels?

Nordstrom requires GS1-128 carton labels certified against its test process before you ship. Nordstrom Retail and Nordstrom Product Group each have their own label format.

How does Nordstrom handle non-compliance?

Nordstrom runs a formal supplier compliance program. Most EDI-related issues come from labels that haven’t been certified, ship notices that don’t match the freight, and invoices that don’t match Nordstrom’s invoicing rules. Our Nordstrom setup is built to prevent all three.

Not sure which Nordstrom program you’re in?

Tell us whether you sell branded goods to Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack or manufacture for Nordstrom’s own brands, and we’ll help you figure out exactly what it takes to get connected.
