About Sable
We fixed the part of EDI that nobody fixed.
The EDI incumbents built great businesses. They built them on your problem staying unsolved. Sable fixes the part they had no incentive to fix.

Origin
Why Sable exists.
EDI works.
Sixty years of purchase orders, invoices, and ASNs flowing through the same standards. That part is fine. The bit that doesn't work is connecting to a new trading partner. Four to eight weeks. Every time. Same spec sheet, same test cycles, same consultant, same bill.
Doesn't matter if it's your first connection or your fortieth. The incumbents like it that way. SPS Commerce charges $500 to $5,000 per connection setup. TrueCommerce bills more when the integration gets messier. They didn't fail to fix this. Fixing it would cost them money. So nothing changed. For sixty years.
We built Sable to change it. Visual mapping ops teams can use without specialists. 340+ pre-built adapters for the partners most distributors actually trade with. No setup fees. No per-connection charges. No managed service contracts.
Why now.
Great businesses. Wrong foundation.
The friction was always artificial.
Every major EDI vendor profits from slow onboarding. The complexity was never inherent to the protocol. It was the business model. SPS Commerce built a $4B company on it. TrueCommerce built a managed service on it. The incentive to simplify never existed. So nobody simplified it. Sable did.
The tooling got there.
Automated document parsing, visual mapping, pre-built adapter libraries. These are not new ideas. They were not buildable at commercial scale three years ago. They are now. Sable is the platform that exists because the technology finally caught up to the problem.
The mandates made it urgent.
ViDA across the EU by 2030. Peppol in ANZ, Singapore, and Malaysia. NHS procurement in the UK. The businesses that avoided digital trading compliance are being pulled in by regulation on a fixed deadline. The market is growing whether anyone markets to it or not. Sable is already there.
Culture
How we operate.
Operator-first.
Built for the ops manager with four onboarding projects running simultaneously and no EDI specialist on staff. Not the consultant billing by the hour while they figure it out.
Transparent pricing.
Three tiers. Published prices. No setup fees on Starter or Growth. No per-connection charges. No 'call us for pricing.' The number on the page is the number.
Network over features.
Pre-built trading partner coverage matters more than any feature checklist. A platform with 340+ pre-mapped adapters beats a platform with 400 features and 12 partners. We invest in the network first.
Documentation as product.
Every protocol, every document type, every integration is documented in plain language. Sable customers should not need a consultant to use Sable. If they do, the documentation failed.
ANZ and EU first.
The tools that exist were built for North American retail. Walmart, Target, Costco. The ANZ and EU mid-market distributor was an afterthought, if it was a thought at all. We started where the gap is biggest.
Wholesale distribution. Not enterprise.
Cleo and SPS Commerce price the mid-market out of the conversation. Enterprise contracts, enterprise timelines, enterprise complexity. The businesses that need this most are the ones left standing in the car park. That is who Sable is for.
