Our unique modular approach to Electronic Data Interchange enables us to offer a true end-to-end solution that is extremely intuitive to use and unparalleled in scalability. We've taken the complexity out of implementing EDI by providing all four of the components you need to successfully deploy EDI:
EDI Connectivity with your trading partner(s) is required to transmit EDI documents, whether directly via the Internet or through a "Value Added Network" (EDI VAN). TC. NetTM is our Internet-based transaction gateway across which your EDI transactions are transmitted, providing connectivity with all of your trading partners. TC.Net is compliant with virtually any connectivity protocol, including AS1/AS2/AS3,
FTP and VAN interconnects (if required).
EDI Translation Software is required to convert the raw EDI data into a meaningful format. TrueCommerce Transaction Manager™, available in both desktop and Web-base EDI versions, is our user-friendly EDI translation software that converts business documents into the ANSI ASC X12 EDI standard. In addition, it converts the data out of the EDI standard into a meaningful format, such as a human readable business form.
EDI Data Mapping and Integration provide the ability to seamlessly import and export information from EDI-based transactions to and from your back-end business or accounting system, as well as to properly format EDI transactions being sent to your trading partners.
Electronic Partner Plug-InsTM, or EPPs, are our intelligent software modules that are programmed to format your inbound and outbound transactions so that they match your trading partner's requirements. To add trading partners, you simply add EPPs.
Our Business System Plug-InTM, or BSP, maps your EDI transactions so that they seamlessly transfer
to and from your business or accounting system. You will have one specific BSP for whatever business system you are operating. If you replace your business system, simply swap out your BSP and the rest of your EDI solution remains intact.
Support for all of your EDI needs requires a broad range of expertise. An in-depth understanding of the specific implementation requirements of each trading partner is critical, as is a thorough understanding of the issues related to integration and technical aspects of sending and receiving transactions electronically. Because TrueCommerce is an end-to-end EDI solution, we have teams
of knowledgeable professionals to support each and every aspect of the entire EDI process.
