About the Company
Performance Accessories has been offering specialty products to off-road enthusiasts for more than twenty years. Their line of bodylift kits, suspension systems and shock mounts was developed to fit their customers’ preferred brand of truck, SUV or Jeep. Using only the finest materials and including easy-to-follow instructions, Performance Accessories provides trading partners such as AutoZone and Reliable Automotive with quality products at affordable prices.
The Challenge
Without an electronic commerce solution in place, a company enters data into a business application, prints a form containing the data (such as a purchase order), and then mails or faxes this form to a trading partner. The trading partner, after receiving the form, must then re-key the data into another business application. Many large companies will not do business with small or mid-size companies that are not EDI-enabled. Performance Accessories needed an EDI solution that would allow them to synchronize data within their business system with data required by their trading partners.
The Solution
According to Steve Ritz of Performance Accessories, “TrueCommerce’s EDI system now automatically interfaces with our software, so that, when customers place an order, it is automatically translated into order entry modules. We don’t have to do a thing. TrueCommerce’s EDI implementation has provided a great solution for our customers and our business.”
The Results
- A small company more effectively trades with nationwide chains.
- Order processing time has been dramatically reduced.
