A network
of B2B networks.
Loren Data operates the B2B commerce infrastructure underneath thousands of platforms, integrators, and enterprises. We have been at scale for three decades. Most of our customers run on us quietly, under their own brand. That is the arrangement.
Every day, commerce at a scale most consumers never see moves through protocols most consumers never use. Someone has to operate that. We do.
We are not a startup building toward scale. We are infrastructure that has been at scale for a generation.
Loren Data operates the nervous system of global B2B commerce, and we have been doing it long enough to have integrated every technology the category has introduced and every one that refused to leave. X.400, AS2, X12, EDIFACT, cXML, JSON, OFTP, GISB/NAESB. The unusual thing about this industry is that protocols do not retire. Our customers' customers continue to demand seamless connectivity to past, current, and future formats, from a single platform. That is the work. Move business documents between trading partners reliably, at scale, under rules that both sides trust. That is what we do. That is all we do.
The commercial internet was new when we started. The practices we built then, protocol agnosticism, operational rigor, the assumption that the network must still be running in twenty years, still define how we operate now. In a category defined by consolidation cycles, we have outlasted most of our peers, and in the cases where we have not, we are usually the reason the ones who replaced them work at all.
Many of our customers don't talk publicly about running on us, and we don't ask them to. A number of the names that appear on industry Top Provider lists are built on our infrastructure. The arrangement works for both of us. They get a network they could not feasibly build themselves. We get the kind of customer that stays for a decade or more, and a product that grows every time one of them wins a customer of their own.
What that adds up to, structurally, is a business that compounds. Every additional platform that builds on us becomes part of the network. Every trading relationship they establish deepens the graph. The value of infrastructure of this kind does not depreciate. It accrues. We have run this company on that premise since 1987, and we intend to be running it on that same premise in 2057.
One platform. Three lines of business. Built on ECGrid.
ECGrid
The flagship network. API-first, embeddable, operated by us. The connectivity backbone that ISVs, integrators, and enterprises rely on to connect, transact, and scale without building the network layer themselves.
Read moreECGrid Simplify
Transformation-as-a-Service. A managed mapping and translation layer that moves the hardest, most under-resourced work in B2B integration off the customer and onto our team.
Read moreGlobal Product Access
The Product Content Delivery Network. Catalog, rich media, and master product data moved between brands, retailers, and marketplaces, on the same network and operating model as ECGrid.

run quietly on infrastructure we operate.
We help write the rules we operate by.
Infrastructure with institutional weight does not emerge from a product roadmap. It emerges from decades of participation in the standards bodies, working groups, and federal procurement programs that govern how B2B commerce is permitted to work.
ASC X12
Our founder and CEO has served a decade on the Board of Directors of the committee that develops and maintains the X12 EDI standards anchoring North American B2B commerce.
Office of Federal Procurement Policy
Advisory role with the White House office that establishes government-wide policy for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. federal government.
X12-B2X Subcommittee
Our founder established the subcommittee and continues to hold a board seat. Its charter is modern envelopes, JSON mappings, and the next generation of B2B messaging formats.
NEECOM
Board seat on the governing body of the largest EDI user group in the world, an operating-level forum for the industry's practitioners, not its vendors.
Many of the names you see on industry Top Provider lists are not running their own network from the ground up. They are built on top of ours.
We are easy to reach.
The longer conversation is the one worth having.
What we operate is easier to understand in a conversation than in a paragraph. If you are a platform exploring infrastructure, a prospective partner, or an analyst covering the category, our leadership team is available to talk directly.
