RedTail EDI Transaction Manager™ Overview

The RedTail Transaction Manager is the key component in providing a comprehensive EDI solution, by allowing suppliers to receive and review incoming electronic purchase orders and post them directly to AccountMate where they are processed routinely without any manual or duplicate key entry of data.  When invoices and shipping information is generated within AccountMate, the corresponding documents are then automatically routed back to RedTail Solutions for translation and forwarding to the corresponding trading partner.

The RedTail Transaction Manager enables the transfer and processing of both inbound and outbound EDI documents including:

  • Importing EDI-850 Purchase Orders to AccountMate, and automatically acknowledging with an EDI-855 Purchase Order ACK
  • Creating EDI-846 Inventory Data Map
  • Receiving an EDI-869 Order Status Inquiry and responding with an EDI-870 Order Status Report
  • Creating and sending EDI-856 Advance Shipping Notice (ASN) and EDI-810 Invoice
  • Creating UCC-128 labels

RedTail GDS Overview

Global Data Synchronization (GDS) allows organizations to share the latest item, location and price data with each other, preventing costly mistakes and delays.  In addition to satisfying buyers' requirements, there are many benefits for suppliers to adopt GDS:

  • Increase speed-to-shelf for new items
  • Decrease invoice deductions
  • Reduce time spent researching and resolving item data and other discrepancies
  • Lower transportation costs by improving outbound logistics processes

RedTail's GDS managed service provides an easy to use solution that allows complete item data synchronization with your trading partners through the Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN).  RedTail GDS provides you the ability to manage all your GDS transactions as well as generate pertinent reports regarding your item data.
