EasyLink and RITE AID - Partnering to make EDI easy
Since 1997, EasyLink has continued to partner with retailers, such as RITE AID, to provide vendors with the ability to electronically connect with their trading partners easily. With a wide range of products and services offered by EasyLink, we can help you pick the solution that best fits your company's needs. RITE AID is now a Gold Partner of EasyLink Services, meaning we enable a large number of RITE AID vendors to communicate electronically. We continually work with RITE AID to stay abreast of their new EDI requirements and mandates.
We support all Rite Aid vendors- DC vendors (who ship to DC locations) and DSD vendors (who deliver merchandise directly to the store). Currently, we support the following transactions for Rite Aid:
