John I'm not clear on whether your client is the customer or supplier.
I DO have experience with iTrade and it's not good. 1) In order for anyone to do traditional X12 EDI, the cost (in 2008) to integrate a document was $7,500 PER DOCUMENT. It was over $20,000 for the 850,855 and 810) 2) Even the communications setup was over $5,000. $7,500 for ftp! 3) If you are a supplier, iTrade charges a huge amount to access the web- portal, plus a percentage of your sales volume. Just the setup for the Web- Portal was $2,500. This was from the supplier side. They may do this for free, in order to catch 70 new fish ;-) Bottom line: If you client is the customer, they need to realize the huge costs this will incur for their suppliers if they want to do regular X12 EDI. They may be getting a lot of suppliers very upset. Note: The web-portal does allow export of the POs in .CSV format, so the suppliers could always import the orders that way. All other procedures are manual (on the web portal). My client had no choice, and at least the import makes one step simpler. Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone in the group has ever worked with or had any dealings with iTradeNetwork. I am up against them in a 'bid' to implement a new EDI / eCommerce solution. The site (in the grocery/food business) has apx 70 partners and is looking at integrating their operations and (finally) updating their current home-grown EDI. What I proposed would let them do just that. BTW: I resell and integrate Liaison's (re: Softshare's) commerce suite. Their current 'EDI coordinator' was also approached by iTrade and was somewhat sold on their proposal. To them, it sounds like the best thing next to sliced-bread! >From what I can gather, iTrade offers a web-based vendor-portal. This (IMO) kind of defeats the 'host integration', lights-out operations that they are looking for. So I'm confused. What exactly does iTrade offer? How? Can a site easily integrate to their host using their services? At what cost? Do they 'interconnect' to other TPs or do these TPs also be a member of iTrade? I realize that I can contact iTrade but I don't want a 'sales' perspective but rather an end-user that has actually dealt with them. Or needed to. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
