Datalliance Open Training

5

Due to the current environment we are moving all open training classes to a virtual environment. If you are interested in training for any of your VMI team members, please reach out to your customer care representative to see what all of your options are. Below is some information that details what topics would be covered in training.

The TrueCommerce Datalliance Open Training class mirrors the onsite training that TrueCommerce Datalliance provides to new users. What makes this class most appealing is the hands on training provided by the TrueCommerce Datalliance Customer Care team. Even if you have been working on the TrueCommerce Datalliance system for years but never had the benefit of formal training from TrueCommerce Datalliance, this class will give you recommendations to use the system to reach its full potential.

Training Highlights

The instructors use a hands on approach to training of the TrueCommerce Datalliance System that covers:

  • Basics to understanding how the system works
  • How to navigate the system
  • Setting up the system to work for you
  • How to prepare and launch orders
  • Working with exceptions
  • Reporting

Users will also have the opportunity throughout the class to pose specific questions about functionality and configuration for their customers to get the most out of each topic.

Training Fee

The cost of the training is $1950.00 per attendee.

There are two versions of the Open Training class to accommodate users with different priorities and focus for their VMI programs: Wholesale and CPG. Please see the appropriate description below for the course outline.
