Familiarity, Fast Implementation and Lower Cost Makes TrueCommerce’s EDI Solutions an Easy Choice for Mobi Technologies

Mobi Technologies Case Study (PDF)

Mobi Technologies, Inc. had been working with a small, web-based EDI provider that did not meet the compliance requirements of Mobi’s largest trading partner customers. The customers gave Mobi two months notice to update their EDI software, which was complicated by the fact that Mobi had recently upgraded their Microsoft Dynamics GP business system to the latest version. Mobi was concerned they would not have sufficient time to find the most cost-effective compatible solution by the imposed deadline.

Fortunately, Mobi’s Operations Manager knew of TrueCommerce EDI Solutions simple, reliable EDI functionality and reputation for excellent support first-hand, from experience with the system at her previous employer’s company. She compared her IT department-recommended EDI provider to the TrueCommerce EDI Platform, and the better choice quickly became apparent. TrueCommerce EDI Solutions had superior pricing and their solution was easier to use, and not simply because she was familiar with their functionality. The other EDI system required multiple, more complicated steps to accomplish what was needed. Choosing the TrueCommerce EDI Platform would save time as well as money.

Additionally, the TrueCommerce Platform could integrate the new EDI solution with Mobi’s business processes within the tight deadline. With the TrueCommerce EDI knowledge of Mobi’s trading partner requirements, Mobi was actually ready a week ahead of schedule.

Mobi quickly began realizing productivity and financial benefits with TrueCommerce EDI Solutions. Orders automatically imported into Mobi’s accounting system eliminated the need to double-enter warehouse data and improved EDI system integration with Mobi’s business processes.

With TrueCommerce EDI, Mobi saw significant savings in both time and money: cost reductions of approximately 45% a month compared with their previous system, and productivity improvements of 30%.

“I’ve estimated that we’ve reduced costs by approximately 45% a month compared with our previous system and we’ve improved productivity by 30%.”
