Translating your data so that your trading partners can process it is an important step toward integrating your value chain. Another important step is making sure that data is getting to the right place. ANC™, known as a value-added network (VAN), is an affordable data transmission network that manages the flow of data between you and your trading partners.
Your system sends data to ANC.
ANC routes the message to the right application or trading partner.
The network tracks the message while it is in transit.
ANC confirms delivery once the message arrives securely.
VAN gives your team a clearer, more reliable way to move business data without managing the network yourself.
Allows easy file tracking with full data viewing for better monitoring and control.
Provides the flexibility to manually edit files as needed, with strict controls and full logging for accountability.
Separates 997 files from other files, making important files easier to locate with links between the 997’s for streamlined tracking.
Supports transfers of non-EDI files through our proprietary connection protocol and setup of a small application service on your system.
Enables a single platform to transfer both EDI files and other required business documents efficiently.
Integrates with SimplicITTM EDI Translation tool, enabling seamless integration with your supply chain partners.
ANC supports the needs of teams looking for managed file transfer in a B2B environment. It gives you a private, cloud-managed network for moving business data between systems, partners, and applications. That makes it useful for supply chain data exchange, recurring partner communication, and EDI-connected workflows. If your goal is to reduce maintenance while improving delivery confidence, ANC fits that use case well.
ANC™ is integrated with any ETL software or any translator, which includes our SimplicIT™ ETL. That flexibility helps teams fit this tool into existing architectures without forcing a complete rebuild.
Customers who have purchased SimplicIT™ have the option of leveraging this integration for quick and accurate network transfers. This is especially helpful when you want to centralize partner communication instead of maintaining many separate connections.
That makes it useful for supply chain data exchange, recurring partner communication, and EDI-connected workflows. If your goal is to reduce maintenance while improving delivery confidence, ANC fits that use case well.
Just because the network is private doesn’t mean that the applications on it cannot exchange data with applications on other networks. ANCTM can easily route files to and receive files from other networks. It supports all major communication protocols: SFTP, FTP/s, AS2, and APIs, and works across all data files.
ANC™ is implemented as a cloud-based VAN service, so there is no software that needs to be installed or maintained. Our team monitors the network 24x7. This constant supervision allows our support team to isolate and correct issues fast. The tool is scalable to meet the needs of any business: as network traffic grows, our support team can easily spin up additional servers to accommodate the load.
Is your team wondering where your business documents are? With ANC™, you won't. With this software, you are not just viewing documents; you can download, resend, and even make controlled updates when needed. No guessing. No chasing support just to confirm delivery. You see exactly what we see.

Everything you need to know about ANC™ and EDI value-added networks.
An EDI VAN or value added network is a private communications network used to securely exchange electronic data between business partners.
A value-added network simplifies secure business data transfer exchange between business partners by providing a private route for transmission. Instead of maintaining many separate point-to-point connections, ANC™ gives you a managed layer for partner communication. This matters most when your business depends on accurate, timely exchange of EDI messages, files, and application data.
ANC is built for companies that want a private, secure, cloud-managed VAN instead of maintaining direct connections across multiple partner systems. It offers message tracking, delivery confirmation, and SimplicIT™ integration, which makes secure EDI exchange easier for teams that want less infrastructure overhead.
