EDI For the Trucking Industry

Today many companies are requiring their trading partners in the trucking business to join them on another highway – the "Information Superhighway". But too frequently when asked, "What system should I use?", they find no good answers. There are some 'generic' products on the market that attempt to marry the benefits of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) with a user interface that tries to meet trucking companies' needs. But because these applications weren't built specifically for the trucking industry, they are frequently awkward or inefficient to use. Thankfully, now there is a better answer – TransportGOLD®.

TransportGOLD® is an EDI software system built exclusively for the trucking industry. It becomes the carrier's EDI link to all of its trading partners, facilitating accurate, secure, and nearly instantaneous exchanges. This can make your company a valuable partner for many of the largest companies in the United States.

Here's why EDI with TransportGOLD is the best answer

• TransportGOLD® is very reasonably priced software made specifically for your business.
• TransportGOLD® is a Windows-based PC system that will run on all versions of Windows. It will not become obsolete within months of purchase.
• TransportGOLD® was developed exclusively for carriers. If you currently provide trucking services, the terminology, data, and workflow will likely seem as natural as your current process. The big differences: you'll have less paper to push, errors to track down, and shippers bugging you to become EDI-capable!
• TransportGOLD® provides the EDI documents, including Tendered Orders (204), Response (990), Stop Status (214), and others, required for carriers to communicate with their shippers.
• TransportGOLD® is an integrated system containing communications and EDI translation platforms proven over years of use in a variety of environments.
• TransportGOLD® provides an upgrade path as the industry changes. Support is available, as is customization for integration of TransportGOLD® data into other systems you may already have in place.
• TransportGOLD® provides a standard 'handshake' with trading partners, opening a secure and dependable method for exchange of information and allowing technology to work for you and your trading partners.
• TransportGOLD® uses terminology standard in your industry, eliminating much of the previously required paper-shuffling.
• TransportGOLD® precludes automatic surrender of advantage to competitors!
