How does the RetailLink website work?

RetailLink is the point of connection for message traffic between RetailVista and the EDI network. All messages sent from RetailVista to EDI first go to RetailLink. Every 5 minutes, there is a data exchange between RetailLink and EDI, during which the messages that are ready are forwarded to the EDI network by RetailLink. The messages that are ready at the EDI network are also retrieved and prepared for RetailVista. The data exchange is only possible for suppliers that exist in RetailLink and are connected to the EDI network. It is also necessary to indicate in RetailVista that the message traffic is via EDI for these suppliers.

You can track the data exchange via the RetailLink website. The RetailLink website can be accessed at http://admin.retaillink.co.nl.
