Simple and efficient eBusiness communications

The TradeLinks communication platform centralizes delivery of business documents for all standard B2B protocols – VAN, AS2, FTP, Web services and more. Communication between your internal application and our data center can all be tunneled through the fully automated ecConnect software, providing secure and reliable unattended communications using the Internet. 

InterTrade has been a Tier-1 interconnected VAN since 2001. This provides its clients with full visibility on the delivery of their business-critical documents, including inter-Van mailbag delivery. The TradeLinks platform also supports standard Internet-based B2B protocols such as AS2, allowing InterTrade customers to benefit from full AS2 on-demand connectivity or AS2 brokerage services..

Complete B2B integration services

The InterTrade TradeLinks platform provides a complete set of tools to enable any-to-any integration for all of your business applications with all of your trading partners. It supports formats such as ANSI X.12, EDIFACT, XML, SAP IDOC, Oracle EDI Gateway, J.D. Edwards, comma separated value (CSV), fixed length and more. Files can be converted for direct integration within your enterprise applications or can be sent in human readable format (Pdf, Html or text), when the interaction with a live person is required.

High security for business critical exchanges

Customers access TradeLinks through secure links with InterTrade data centers in USA and Canada. The TradeLinks technological architecture has been built using the high security standards required for electronic B2B communications. It incorporates a proprietary security layer guaranteeing transaction validation, trading partner authentication, transaction confidentiality and non-repudiation.

Faster access to any B2B/EDI configuration

Since it operates in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) mode, the TradeLinks platform can enable any B2B/EDI configuration much faster and much easier than on premise solutions. There is no hardware or software to buy, install, configure, update and maintain. Development, test and production environments are ready to use. They are available now, not in a few weeks.

Since InterTrade constantly upgrades the TradeLinks platform to support new standards for communication protocols or document formats, they become immediately available for all InterTrade customers without any new software to install, configure and maintain.

Another important TradeLinks feature centers around the fact that it can be tailored to every client’s business-process specifics. We don’t stop at managing the envelopes of business documents. We go well beyond that by managing special business processes when your internal systems – or your trading partner’s IT infrastructure – have technical limitations impinging on the very business-process benefits that you seek. TradeLinks understands your supply chain.

Real-time visibility on all data exchanges

ecView is a web-based application that allows users to monitor in real-time all their business document traffic as processed by the TradeLinks platform. With ecView, InterTrade customers have complete visibility and control on all their business data exchanges, with customers, suppliers, resellers and any of the third party partners involved in e-business transactions (financial services, transportation, warehousing, logistics, etc.).
