Network onboarding
The Paper Store (via TrueCommerce) is routed through TrueCommerce
Stacksync maintains a certified TrueCommerce connection covering 27 trading partners across 28 channels. Onboarding with The Paper Store on this channel reuses that connection — no separate VAN contract or certification cycle.
TrueCommerce is a commercial EDI network and managed-services provider connecting suppliers to retailers and distributors; it states its network reaches over a million companies through a single connection and handles more than 600 million transactions. Retail hubs trading through TrueCommerce require suppliers to exchange order-to-cash documents, typically the 850 purchase order, 855 acknowledgment, 856 ASN, 810 invoice, 860 change, and 846 inventory advice, per each retailer's EDI specification.
Connecting via TrueCommerce
- Create a TrueCommerce account and receive system credentials (what TrueCommerce calls the provisioned milestone).
- Select a connection path matched to capability: integrated EDI, web portal, or file-based workflows such as spreadsheets and PDFs.
- Configure each trading partner and map documents to the ERP against the partner's specification; TrueCommerce reports AI-assisted mapping now takes 2-3 days per partner, down from 7-10.
- Run end-to-end test cycles with document validation against trading partner specifications.
- Complete compliance certification and begin live document exchange (the fully operational milestone).
Testing: TrueCommerce distinguishes provisioned and connected states from fully operational, which requires ERP integration, document mapping, validation against trading partner specifications, end-to-end test cycles, and compliance certification. TrueCommerce frames pre-go-live validation as protection against downstream chargebacks and compliance failures.
Timeline: TrueCommerce states its Rapid Onboarding Program averages 13 calendar days to fully operational, with 4-6 hours of direct customer engagement over two weeks, and notes traditional EDI onboarding commonly takes 30 or more days when mapping and validation are manual.
