Direct Wal-Mart EDI Network Overview

Wal-Mart has decided that all of its vendors and suppliers must communicate directly with them and abandon the services of 3rd party networks like General Electronic, Sterling Commerce and Harbinger.  

CTI Communications offers vendors an inexpensive and reliable interface called the SyncPack2000e that includes FastSync 3780® bisynchronous software and related synchronous modem hardware to handle EDI Purchase Orders (850s) and Functional Acknowledgements (997s & 998s) directly with Wal-Mart, Sams and McLane host systems.  Plus, we include a special Wal-Mart Access Program user interface to simplify the entire process. The base package starts at $1,595 (US$).
