ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
Our most popular method for communicating with or on behalf of our clients is with EDI. Today’s retailers have stringent guidelines for sending and receiving EDI documents. Our in-house IT staff has extensive experience with all EDI standards as well as supporting the relationships with our VAN partners. We utilize Inovis Trustedlink transformation software to manage the EDI. TrustedLink bridges that gap between Distribution Alternatives and our trading partners enabling us to have a digital dialog regardless of differing data formats or standards. Distribution Alternatives has full EDI capabilities and currently supports the following ASC X12 VICS and UCS/WINS documents:
