Network onboarding

Stacksync maintains a certified ecUtopia connection covering 2 trading partners across 2 channels. Onboarding with Sheplers on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.
ecUtopia is a cloud-based EDI and supply chain collaboration network centered on home furnishings and apparel retail. Retailers on the network require vendors to trade purchase orders, ship notices, invoices, and related documents through it. Founded in 2011 in San Diego, ecUtopia was acquired by TrueCommerce in May 2019 and now operates within the TrueCommerce network.
Connecting via ecUtopia
- The retailer initiates onboarding through ecUtopia's ecAccelerate vendor portal; the vendor signs up and the retailer outlines its document requirements.
- Choose portal-based trading (portal user accounts are configured automatically at signup) or an integrated connection through an existing EDI system or provider.
- Map the retailer's ANSI X12 documents; UN/EDIFACT and XML syntax are also supported on the network.
- Complete testing during the retailer's pre-configured testing windows, then activate production trading.
Testing: Testing is retailer-driven and scheduled through the ecAccelerate portal: the retailer outlines requirements and picks pre-configured time windows in which the vendor validates document exchange. Integrated vendors test each required document before activation, while portal accounts are auto-configured at signup.
Timeline: ecUtopia states that automated account configuration lets portal vendors begin trading within hours of signup. Integrated EDI connections are paced by the retailer's scheduled testing windows and document count, so expect a longer, retailer-controlled timeline.
