Nion Hoq is an EDI and supply chain integration consultant who applies AI to EDI operations: mapping, partner onboarding, testing, and error triage.
He has 8+ years in EDI and 10+ years in IT, has onboarded 30+ trading partners, and works with retail, distribution, and 3PL supply chains across North America. His specialty is modernizing legacy EDI, including TrustedLink (TLE) environments, and adding AI assistance without ripping out the stack.
This is for supply chain, logistics, and IT teams whose EDI works but costs too much time: partners waiting weeks to go live, a mapping backlog nobody can clear, and errors your customers find before you do.
New partners stall in specs, testing, and sign-off. I run onboarding end to end, from first spec to production, and cut the effort it takes to get each partner live.
ANSI X12 and EDIFACT maps, spec compliance testing, and the unglamorous fixes that keep orders, advance ship notices, and invoices moving.
TrustedLink (TLE) optimization and API or XML migrations, planned around live trading partners so nothing breaks mid-flight.
AI agents that read failed transactions, triage errors, and draft the repetitive parts of onboarding. Applied where it pays, skipped where it does not.
Credentials: Project Management Professional (PMP) and AWS Certified AI Practitioner. Author of No Map, No Mentor: A Modern Field Guide to EDI (forthcoming), a practitioner field guide to modern EDI. The writing and tool notes show how the work gets done.
Every engagement starts with a fixed-fee assessment, scoped in writing before any work begins. No subscriptions and no open-ended retainers. You get a written read of your EDI operation and a plan you can hand to anyone, including me.
