Implementing an Easy, Affordable EDI Solution from TrueCommerce EDI Solutions Provided Productivity Benefits for CIPA USA

Several years ago, CIPA USA’s new trading partner required more extensive, timely and accurate data transactions than CIPA was able to provide. This motivated the company to upgrade their data entry system to an EDI system. To support future business goals, they wanted an affordable, easy-to-use EDI solution that was compatible with their SAGE MAS 90 accounting software, that would support current and future trading partner requirements and would eliminate their extensive manual data entry tasks, thereby streamlining their order processing.

In comparing several EDI providers, the TrueCommerce EDI Solution proved to be the best choice: a very simple and straight forward system with huge time-saving advantages, compatibility with leading accounting software and fast, easy implementation.

After a smooth and trouble-free integration, CIPA’s data entry process went from eight hours to ten minutes a day, which allowed the company to reassign workload and increase overall business productivity. TrueCommerce EDI also enabled new company capabilities such as providing labeling and expanding relationships with trading partners who require daily drop shipment transactions.

“I used to spend eight hours a day entering EDI documents, but once we started using TrueCommerce, it took me ten minutes, then I was able to expand my support of the company into other business-critical areas.”
