WMS EDI Integration Consultant

NewCold is seeking a highly experienced Senior WMS EDI Integration Consultant to join our dynamic IT team in Breda. This senior position is pivotal in driving the success of complex integrations (EDI) for our logistics and warehouse operations. You will act as the strategic bridge between our customers, warehouse site users, and technical teams (Integrations + WMS), translating business needs-sometimes still evolving-into robust, efficient integration solutions.

As a senior solution specialist, you will proactively engage with stakeholders to clarify requirements and ensure successful completion of complex integration projects. Your expertise will be critical in increasing the efficiency of our implementation projects, reducing lead times, and delivering high-quality outcomes.

You will work with middleware platforms leveraging a Canonical Data Model (CDM) to interface with our custom-built Warehouse Management System (WMS), ensuring seamless digital integration between external systems (such as ERP platforms like SAP) and our internal logistics infrastructure.

What will you do?

• Lead the gathering and analysis of integration requirements, working collaboratively with stakeholders to clarify and shape objectives as they develop.
• Define and document complex data mappings between customer ERP systems and our middleware, ensuring full alignment with NewCold WMS/logistics processes.
• Design, oversee, and optimise EDI message flows to guarantee accurate and timely data exchange with our WMS.
• Coordinate and drive integration testing with customers and internal teams, ensuring rapid issue resolution and continuous improvement.
• Troubleshoot integration issues, providing senior-level root cause analysis and strategic solutions.
• Champion optimization and documentation of EDI processes to further drive standardization.
• Collaborate closely with logistics operations to ensure all integrations support and enhance transportation and warehouse workflows.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to the development of internal expertise.

• Deep understanding of logistical transportation and warehouse processes, with the ability to translate and document operational requirements into technical solutions.
• Ability to translate customer data structures into standard formats and experience with creating mapping documents.
• Experience with integration standards, processes and concepts with a proven track record of delivering complex projects in logistics or supply chain environments.
• Thorough knowledge of EDI message standards (EDIFACT, X12, XML), WMS functionality and data flows.
• Demonstrated understanding of API based integrations.
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to clarify and shape requirements in dynamic environments.
• Strong independent working capability, combined with a collaborative approach within a small, high-performing IT team.
• Fluent in English.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Working knowledge of Canonical Data Models.
• Experience with custom-built WMS platforms.
• Proficiency in German or Dutch is a plus.
