Smooth, productive EDI operations with ACCTivate!
ACCTivate! EDI reduces errors, automates manual steps, saves money
Companies that sell to “big box” stores are usually required to use
EDI and with QuickBooks and TrueCommerce, a well-known
EDI solution provider, ACCTivate! offers a fully integrated solution
that makes EDI operations more productive and stress-free.
ACCTivate! puts EDI into the hands of small and midsize businesses unlike it’s usual use in major corporations and makes EDI operations easy. Errors are reduced and steps that would typically be manual are automated resulting in time gained and money saved.
EDI without ACCTivate!
Without ACCTivate!, EDI operations conducted only with QuickBooks and a Value Added Network (VAN) can be tedious and frustrating due to the many manual steps involved. Bringing ACCTivate! and TrueCommerce into the picture replacing the VAN, can result in smooth EDI operations.
