TrueCommerce is a market leading electronic data interchange (EDI) solution provider for SMBs.
By combining inventory and order management with a complete, end-to-end EDI solution, Order Time users can save money, increase productivity and automate key supply chain processes—to move orders faster and serve customers better.
When integrated with Order Time, the TrueCommerce EDI imports EDI purchase orders directly into Order Time as EDI sales orders. When the Sales Order is shipped and you generate an ship doc, the solution automatically generates an Advance Ship Notice (ASN). This saves you from having to key the sales order, invoice or ASN data into your EDI solution, saving time, money and errors in your order management process.
To find out more about TrueCommerce EDI and the benefits of integrating EDI with your Order Time solution, contact an EDI specialist today.
The EDI Integration is used to import and export EDI documents to and from the TrueCommerce Transaction Manager. The following EDI Documents are supported.
- 850 - Purchase Order
- 856 - Shipping Notice, single packages only with no support for UCC-128
The cost is $30 a month per document. Please note the price is exclusive of setup and transactional fees charged by TrueCommerce.
Before connecting the integration you must set up your account with TrueCommerce. They will walk you through setting up your trading partners.

Input and Output may or may not be the same folders depending on how TrueCommerce has it set up.
