Transalis

Transalis is a UK-founded electronic data interchange (EDI) and eInvoicing technology company established in 2002, specializing in fully managed, bespoke B2B integration solutions for organizations across global supply chains. Through its proprietary OpenEDI platform and international Trading Network, it connects more than 15,000 organizations across 50+ countries, processing over 30 million transactions annually. The company positions itself as a modern alternative to legacy EDI VAN providers, offering enterprise-scale EDI services without the associated technical complexity or on-premise software requirements.

Transalis delivers a suite of managed services built around three core offerings. Transalis OpenEDI handles automatic exchange of EDI documents across entire supply chains, supporting all standard EDI document types including purchase orders, dispatch notices, invoices, and inventory updates. Transalis eInvoiceTrack provides real-time visibility and status tracking for every Peppol-compliant eInvoice exchanged across the Peppol global gateway network. Transalis FastTrack accelerates onboarding of trading partners of all sizes, enabling integrated and efficient EDI-enabled supply chains at scale.

The company is a certified Peppol Access Point, making it a qualified intermediary for B2B and B2G eInvoicing mandates. It is currently live for eInvoicing compliance in Belgium and France and is building toward the UK eInvoicing mandate announced from April 2029. Its global reach extends across more than 50 countries, and it serves a wide range of industries including retail, consumer goods, and distribution.

Notable clients include Argos, for whom Transalis onboarded 2,000 EDI suppliers within six months in 2008, and A.S. Watson, a long-standing customer of 15 years with tens of thousands of suppliers across nine retail brands and 16 European markets. These engagements demonstrate the company's capability to manage high-volume, complex, multinational trading partner ecosystems.

Transalis is led by CEO Allan W. Gray, who brings 40 years of experience in EDI, eInvoicing, and B2B integration, and co-founders Aniello Louis Sabatino and Paul Butler Simpson, each with over 30 years of experience in EDI, enterprise systems integration, and supply chain technology. The leadership team has backgrounds spanning IBM, Atlas Products International, and HighJump Software, providing deep technical and commercial expertise in global EDI infrastructure.

The company's value proposition centers on removing the technical burden and cost of legacy EDI by offering a single connection point that enables businesses to reach any trading partner, automate supply chain transactions, and achieve full digital supply chain visibility. Its managed service model means clients do not need to install or maintain software, making it accessible to both SMEs and large multinational enterprises.
