PTX-800 SERVICE

The effective way to implement EDI for customer orders

Many manufacturers and distributors can save significant dollars by having their customers submit orders using EDI - but face the challenge of gaining customer participation. The PTX-800 service solves this barrier. It’s the EDI equivalent of establishing a toll free 800 order line.

How Does it Work

The PTX-800 service establishes a Private Trading Exchange using the internet. TMP provides your customers at NO cost, a Windows based B2B interface software program which requires no technical skills to use. They create and receive transactions which are sent and received with a click of the mouse.

Orders flow to the PTX-hub where required format translations occur. Orders are then forwarded to you in your EDI standards. By sharing translation software, costs are reduced, the user operation is simplified, and changes to standards can be quickly implemented without updating software at every user site.

The PTX-800 service ensures that the transactions you receive are correctly formatted and provides a contact point for customer questions.

The PTX-800 service normally supports orders, order acknowledgements, and invoices, but can be customized to support other transactions you may require such as shipping notices.

The PTX-800 user software does include an application program interface which may be adopted by the user to provide a data exchange with their inventory/accounting software.

What Does It Cost

Just like a toll free 800 order line, your customers pay nothing. You pay a per transaction fee which is not much more than the cost of a stamp. You save on every order compared to processing phone or paper orders and your customers gain a faster order cycle.
