eBridge Connections vs TrueCommerce EDI Solutions Comparison

The EDI integration is outside of Dynamics and communicates with native web services from the ERP. The EDI is handled completely by eBridge and appears in Dynamics fully formed as the appropriate documents and transactions. The team working on implementing were helpful and easy to get along with.

While a very complete EDI solution, it is completely inflexible and requires only out of the box (of a specific previous version - not the newest) Dynamics web service interface which can be problematic for even a minimally customized app. Hopefully this will be resolved in later releases.

the ease of adding items to our catalog or adding trading partners has been relatively simple and fast.

the API connections took a bit of work on our end and the reporting could be easier to access and responsive.

Easy to use, integrates with SAP ByDesign, connections to many trading partners already exist so there is less time getting set up with new customers for our company.

Takes a little time to get used to the navigation screens.

Thank you Kevin for taking the time to review DiCentral. Appreciate your feedback and all the details you provided.

They basically can fit into almost all of the big ERP system like QB, NS...etc. They can fit into most of the trading partners. We have more than 20 EDI connections with them. They just get rid of their Silverlight based webpage and deploy new like of the portal which is better.

The software is unstable. You might need to call their customer support once or twice a week to get the problem fixed. The webpage loading time is slow...

I love the visibility and ability to monitor your system, to monitor orders, and even make changes as needed. Their support though makes life easy as an IT Professional to ensure that orders are flowing. EDI is the lifeblood of any new business, and as result without a functioning EDI, issues will arise. TC is not set it and forget it, but it is set is and watch it. I equate TC to smoking meat. You put it in, watch it carefully, and enjoy the ride.

The only issue I have with TC is the lack of ability to automate connections and information into ERP for item information. Meaning that when a change happens in NetSuite, you have to update every trading partner. But with the future, they are looking to amend this.

I love the software when it works. However setting up the system and fixing any issues is near to impossible. Their support department is split into multiple departments, so if you call in no one can actually help you because "thats not their department". As a user I know more information about their system then most of their customer service reps that answer the phone (which is not much). Sales reps over sell their quality of customer service and give false information about how easy integration is. I dont mind running into issues, thats expected with software. But the lack of help you get when something does go wrong is brutal. They have one or 2 people on the team that actually know how to help and if you get in touch with them KEEP THIER DIRECT CONTACT INFO!

customer service and integration specialists. It took over a year to integrate their "pre built connections", like amazon seller central, walmart marketpalce, and shopify. Once I signed the contract to start implementation in May 2020, it took 4 months for a rep to actually reach out and begin the project. I told them i had a deadline of November 2020 to be fully integrated...that did not happen. Fast forward to Nov. 2021 I finally have my trading partners set up but not all of them are complete. Integration team has stopped following up with me.
