The story
EDI is fifty-year-old plumbing that still moves most of retail. It works. What doesn't work is how it's sold: value-added networks bill by the kilocharacter, integrators bill by the mapping project, and platforms bill by the month whether you shipped one order or none.
EDISQ is EDI rebuilt as self-serve software: sign up, connect a system, pick your partners, run a test, go live — in one sitting, without talking to anyone. You pay for exactly one thing: documents traded.
Why per-document pricing
The industry's traditional unit is the kilocharacter — a thousand characters of transmitted data. Nobody budgets in kilocharacters. Nobody can predict them: the same purchase order costs more when a partner pads their spec, and a long address line is a billing event. Kilocharacter pricing is a meter only the vendor can read.
Then come the fees stacked around it: monthly platform minimums, per-partner connection fees, mapping fees, setup fees. The bill has six lines before a single order moves.
A document is the unit your business already counts in. One purchase order. One invoice. One ship notice. You know how many you traded last month, and you can multiply. So that's the whole model: first 25 documents each month free, then a tier ladder from $0.50 down to $0.30 — no other fees. If you trade nothing in a month, you pay nothing.
The square
The logomark is a quincunx: five equal squares. The four corners are trading parties — supplier, retailer, carrier, 3PL — stepping down in opacity clockwise, always in motion. The violet center is the document passing between them.
That's the product in one picture: parties around the edge, the document in the middle, and EDISQ is the space where they meet.
Who we are
EDISQ is built by Damani Data in Atlanta, Georgia — a product company, not an integrator. There is no services arm waiting to sell you a mapping project; the certified partner maps ship in the product because that's the point of it.
