How EDISQ connects to Caterpillar

Caterpillar trades AS2 direct. EDISQ maintains the AS2 connection and certificates, registers your IDs, and loads the certified maps the moment you enable the partner:

1Enable Caterpillar from the partner catalog — document maps load automatically.
2Cross-reference your data — vendor number, ship-to locations, item identifiers. The wizard flags anything missing.
3Run test scenarios in the sandbox — validated end-to-end before anything goes live.

Typical Caterpillar setup with EDISQ: 2–4 days on the EDI side.

Pricing for Caterpillar suppliers

No Caterpillar-specific fees. First 25 documents/month free, then $0.50 per document, cheaper as volume grows — no VAN, mapping, or partner fees. Full pricing →
