[![Titus Capilnean](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/articles/titus-capilnean.jpeg)](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tituscapilnean/) [Titus Capilnean](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tituscapilnean/), Head of Marketing June 19, 2026 Last updated August 27, 2026 If you have ever searched for "Orgill EDI," you already know the results are heavy on acronyms and light on straight answers. So here is the straight answer: connecting your point of sale to Orgill means teaching your system to read Orgill's item master files, transmit purchase orders electronically, pick up shipment notifications, and keep pace with price changes, and Rundoo does all of that automatically so you never have to think about a fixed-width file again. The goal is for store owners to spend less time navigating FTP folders and more time helping the customer who needs, call it, the metal thingy with the twisty bit. ## What connecting a POS to Orgill involves Orgill is the world's largest independently owned hardlines distributor, serving thousands of independent retailers across hardware, home improvement, lumber, and building materials. That scale is exactly why the dealer network runs on structured data feeds: item master files for the catalog, EDI for orders, shipment files for receiving, and regular price change files to keep costs current. A store without an integrated system ends up moving all of that by hand, logging into a portal to place orders, re-keying line items, and reconciling shipments against paper, which is a screw-by-screw ordeal when your shelves hold thousands of SKUs. An integrated system handles those feeds for you, and the difference shows up everywhere from the receiving dock to the price labels. Here is how each piece works in Rundoo, and every one of these is live today for our [Orgill](/partners/orgill/index.md) dealer clients. ## The catalog loads itself Orgill's full product catalog loads directly into Rundoo from Orgill's item master files, including UPCs, item names, and descriptions ready to import, so your catalog grows exactly as fast as you need it to. That means when a customer asks whether you can get something, the answer is a search away instead of a phone call away. ## Ordering over EDI, with your pricing on the order This is the part most people mean when they search "Orgill EDI." From Rundoo, you place a purchase order and it transmits directly to Orgill over a secure EDI connection, with your store's pricing sent on the order so the price labels that come back are correct. There is no logging into a separate portal, no re-keying orders by hand, and no wondering whether the price you sent matches the price Orgill received. The order you built at the counter is the order that arrives at the warehouse, character for character. ## Receiving without the clipboard When Orgill ships your order, the shipment notification loads automatically into Rundoo with line items and quantities already in place. You select the shipment, confirm the quantities as the truck unloads, and you are done, which turns receiving day from a data entry project into a walk down the aisle with a scanner. ## Price changes, warehouse inventory, and item maintenance The quiet work of staying accurate is where an integration earns its keep over the long haul, because a catalog is only as good as its upkeep. * **Price changes** flow into Rundoo automatically, keeping your member costs and retail prices accurate without anyone touching a spreadsheet, and you review and apply them from the price changes page whenever you are ready. * **Warehouse inventory** files from Orgill's distribution centers show you what is in stock at your assigned warehouse before you place an order, including discontinuation flags, so you are not ordering something that is already on its way out. * **Item maintenance** updates come through automatically whenever Orgill updates a product, changes a UPC, or discontinues an item, so your catalog stays fastened to reality without manual cleanup. ## FanBuilder at the register Orgill's FanBuilder loyalty program is integrated directly into the point of sale, so earning rewards and applying coupons happens in the flow of checkout rather than in a separate errand afterward. Loyalty only works when it is effortless at the counter. ## Proof from Dumas, Arkansas The best test of an Orgill integration is a store under pressure, and [Berry's Hardware & Home Center](/clients/berrys-hardware/index.md) in Dumas, Arkansas supplied it: they went live on Rundoo days after a roof collapse, and within that first week orders were flowing electronically to Orgill from a building under reconstruction. ## Where to see it in person Orgill hosts dealer markets twice a year, and Rundoo is there on the show floor, along with Orgill's Tech Symposium and other events where dealers gather throughout the year.
