EDI specialist for the toy industry
Scalable EDI for retail distribution and high-volume drop shipping.
Chargeback Prevention
In the toy industry, teams need to move quickly, whether shipping full truckloads to distribution centers or individual orders to customers. We provide an EDI foundation that supports traditional wholesale while giving brands the flexibility to manage high-volume ecommerce without added complexity.
How we support modern toy brands
- Optimized wholesale & retail EDI
Manage high-volume, “brick-and-mortar” retail orders with ease. Lingo handles the complex mapping required for major retailers, ensuring your GS1-128 labels, ASNs, and invoices are always 100% compliant. Whether you ship via your own warehouse or a 3PL, we streamline the workflow to prevent chargebacks and keep your retail partners happy.
- High-performance drop ship fulfillment
We support brands as the toy market shifts toward virtual aisles. By automating the drop ship workflow, from order receipt to carrier label creation, teams can process high volumes of individual shipments without adding manual work.
- Strategic inventory management (846)
Maintaining stock levels across multiple retailer websites is a major pain point, and frequent data transmissions can get expensive.
- Cost-controlled syncing: To help manage overhead, we offer options to send “Delta” updates (only reporting changes in stock) rather than full catalog refreshes where retailers allow.
- Accuracy at scale: Keep your 846 Inventory Advice documents in perfect sync with your actual warehouse counts to avoid the dreaded “Out of Stock” cancellation.
- Retailer-branded packing slips
Drop shipping for a major retailer requires you to act as their “ghost” fulfillment center. Lingo automatically generates and prints retailer-branded packing slips with the correct logos and formatting.
- Hands-off setup: Our team configures these documents for you during onboarding, ensuring your brand (and your retailer’s brand) always looks professional.

A unified workflow for all channels
Why use different systems for your wholesale orders and your drop ship orders? Lingo brings everything into a single view.
