Turns out that the EDI Provider for the company we're using is SPS Commerce which, in addition to providing EDI exchange, also provides an FTP/Flat-file service! Yay. (Which happens to be the "native" way that the other company sends their data to SPS in the first place...) So, I won't have to do any EDI after all. Whew.
