EDI Partnership Now Automates Drop Shipping for Everest Customers
Everest partners with TrueCommerce for powerful EDI integration
Dulles, VA – May 5, 2008 – Everest® Software, the award-winning provider of business operating systems for small and medium businesses (SMBs), and TrueCommerce®, provider of a comprehensive EDI solution for this market, have announced a partnership that enables SMBs to eliminate most manual processing for drop shipments from suppliers.
Until now, the cost and complexity typically involved with EDI has been prohibitive for smaller companies. Simply maintaining an efficient flow of EDI business transactions required significant expertise; now there’s a better way. TrueCommerce provides a single end-to-end solution with everything needed to implement EDI—simply, cost-effectively, and fully integrated with the Everest business operating system. Everest customers can now submit drop ship purchase orders to vendors electronically using the technology vendors prefer.
As the preferred EDI partner of Everest, TrueCommerce now offers significant advantages to Everest small business customers:
- Lower payroll costs associated with submitting and updating drop ship POs.
- They can expand their own product lines more efficiently, interacting with more suppliers.
- Transactions flow seamlessly through Everest with a point-and-click interface.
- Wholesales and distributors can reach new markets and handle the required purchasing and labeling requirements.
- Little or no technical expertise is needed for set-up and maintenance.
“
This relationship is a win for both our companies,” says
George W. McKee, III, president and CEO of TrueCommerce. “
There’s a high demand among Everest customers for EDI functionality, and it has to tightly integrate with their Everest software. EDI is an integral revenue source for small businesses, so of course it needs to work seamlessly with the software they already use”
Edwin Miller, CEO of Everest commented, “
We’ve heard from many of our customers who wanted an EDI solution, but were concerned that an integrated solution was out of reach because of the cost and complexity involved. With TrueCommerce we’re able to dispel that thinking and deliver what they need. At Everest, we’re very focused on adding value for our customers with experts in their fields as partners.”
