Certify trading partners against your EDI requirements.

SPICE iKompli™
SPICE iKompli™ is a self-service environment where suppliers and customers test EDI transactions against enterprise EDI specifications, maps, syntax requirements and business rules before production.
SPICE iKompli™ certification workspace (illustrative example)
In SPICE iKompli™ you define the EDI specifications, business rules and test cases, and each trading partner tests against them on its own. The workspace shows certification status across trading partners, each trading partner's progress from specifications reviewed to ready to certify, every EDI document test with its result, and for a failed test the exact business rules that failed, with the message the trading partner needs to fix it and the conversation attached to the test. Choose a test to see its results. All data shown is illustrative.

The problem
Traditional EDI testing and certification services can be slow, opaque and difficult for trading partners to navigate, creating repeated failures, manual status tracking and production-readiness risk.
SPICE iKompli™ is built for vendor compliance and customer onboarding teams within enterprise EDI and IT.
What it does
- Self-service EDI test plans
- EDI syntax and business-rule validation
- Clear transaction-level failure feedback
- Certification progress and readiness views
- Supplier and customer EDI onboarding
- Reusable EDI specifications, maps and test cases
How SPICE iKompli™ works
- Invite The enterprise publishes its document specifications and required test scenarios.
- Submit EDI tests A trading partner runs ASN test case 856-03 against the enterprise specification.
- Correct The result identifies a missing required reference and explains how to correct it. Test-level discussion preserves context.
- Certify The corrected transaction passes the scenario. Certification still requires all mandatory cases.
- Production handoff The enterprise approves readiness and hands off to production integration; SPICE™ native middleware handles production transformation.
An explanation of the workflow using representative data; implementation reflects the enterprise rules and integration scope.
For the enterprise and the trading partner
For the enterprise: more consistent execution. Own the enterprise test specifications and business rules while tracking trading partner readiness centrally.
For the trading partner: a clearer way to participate. Understand failed requirements, collaborate at test level and retest with clear feedback.
Why this approach
Address the process around the technology. Third-party testing and internally managed inboxes can separate certification from enterprise rules and progress. SPICE iKompli™ gives the enterprise control over requirements, results and collaboration.
Its role in the SPICE™ platform
SPICE iKompli™ governs EDI pre-production certification and compliance, not broader supplier compliance. SPICE™ native middleware handles production transformation, and SPICE Connect™ provides onboarding services.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is SPICE iKompli™ for?
Vendor compliance and customer onboarding teams within enterprise EDI and IT.
How does it connect to our existing systems?
SPICE iKompli™ is the pre-production testing environment. The approved specifications and readiness decision carry into the production integration handoff; SPICE™ native middleware handles production transformation.
Can we start with one process or trading partner group?
Yes. Scope a priority process or trading partner group first, then extend the relevant shared integration, visibility and support services as requirements change.
How long does implementation take?
Timing depends on interfaces, document scope, business rules, deployment needs and trading partner readiness. SPICE™ establishes a rollout plan after discovery; there is no universal go-live promise.
Where does SpicY™ fit?
SpicY™ answers common trading partner testing questions with responses your team has approved. Anything it can't answer goes to your team inside the test, with the full history attached.
