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.

Why Sable exists
Why Sable exists.
EDI has worked for sixty years.
Purchase orders, invoices, advance shipment notices. The standards are well understood, globally adopted, and going nowhere. Every major retailer, distributor, hotel chain, and government procurement system on earth runs on them. That is not changing.
The protocol was never the problem.
The problem is that connecting to a new trading partner still takes four to eight weeks. Every time. Regardless of how many times you have done it before. Same spec sheet. Same test environment. Same consultant. Same bill.
SPS Commerce charges $500 to $5,000 to set up a single trading partner connection. TrueCommerce runs a managed service where the more complex the integration, the more they bill. The incumbents did not fail to simplify this. They chose not to. Complexity is the product.
So the problem stayed. For sixty years.
Sable is the platform that removes the incentive to keep it hard. Visual mapping so ops teams do the work, not specialists. 340+ pre-built adapters so common connections take hours not weeks. Transparent pricing with no setup fees, no per-connection charges, no managed service lock-in.
The technology to do this properly became viable in 2024. The regulatory tailwinds - Peppol mandates across ANZ and the EU, ViDA, NHS procurement - are pulling more businesses into digital trading on a fixed deadline.
The timing is right. The gap is real.
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.
How we operate
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.
