What is tradebridge?
TradeBridge is Altura's B2B/EDI partner library inside Vista LaunchPad: partner specifications, suite-class patterns, and validation approaches for retail and wholesale trading partners on NetSuite and Celigo. It is a capability of LaunchPad, not a separate managed EDI network.
The definition
TradeBridge explained
Multi-partner EDI programs fail when every retailer is treated as a brand-new consulting project or when connectivity is rented through a vendor ticket queue. TradeBridge packages what Altura has already proven in delivered client EDI work into reusable partner patterns that deploy into the customer's own NetSuite and Celigo environment.
TradeBridge does not replace the retailer's or VAN's certification process. It prepares the brand to enter that process with a connection that has been developed, tested, and accepted, so onboarding speed and change control stay with the brand, not inside a black box.

EDI trading-partner onboarding
EDI trading-partner onboarding is the work of connecting a brand's systems to a retail or wholesale partner so they can exchange standardized electronic documents: orders, shipment notices, invoices, and acknowledgements. On NetSuite and Celigo, it means mapping the partner's exact specification and validating it before live trading begins.

ASN (856)
An ASN, or EDI 856 Advance Ship Notice, is the electronic document a supplier sends a trading partner before a shipment arrives, detailing its contents, packaging hierarchy, and carton or SSCC labels. Accurate ASNs are a common compliance requirement, and errors in them are a frequent source of retailer chargebacks.

Celigo flow
A Celigo flow is a configured integration pipeline in the Celigo platform that moves data between systems, for example syncing orders from a storefront into NetSuite, on a schedule or in response to an event. Flows are where integration logic, error handling, and retries live for a NetSuite-centered operation.

Exception handling
Exception handling is the governed path an automated workflow follows when something does not fit the rules: a payout that will not match, a stuck order, an integration error. Instead of failing silently or forcing a person to hunt, the exception is classified, routed to the right owner with context, and resolved with human approval where it matters.
