My company thrives on helping badly managed corporations, so my appalling experiences in trying to gain access to these idiots only reinforces my desire to do so.

THe iTrade network is nothing more than a highly advanced extortion group. To get/keep the Sysco business, you have to pay them an inordinate fee schedule based upon your sales to Sysco. Sysco has funded their entire IS organization via iTrade. Sysco was one of iTrade’s founding partners. If all manufacturers would tell Sysco to stick iTrade up their ass, this nuisance cost would go away.

I’ll just say this having worked for them in a former life – your experiences are typical and your payments are actually light compared to others.

They just got a quote… Over $41,000 to setup 3 documents and communications.
There is no way that this is cost effective… They will probably use the Web Portal which is ONLY $4,000 per year…

JC Penny is a choirboy compared to I-Trade/Sysco. They are telling us to pay $7500 per transaction map (850, 810, etc) as well as $10k a year to support the EDI trading relationship. Sysco should ask one simple question – if I charge my suppliers $30k to get running on EDI where are they going to retake that margin? Maybe they are in on it (getting a piece of the action from I-Trade?)

Heh.. It gets worse..
One of my EDI clients is being forced to join iTradeNetworks by Sysco for all EDI exchanges.
There is an annual fee paid to iTradeNetworks based on volume of business, plus fees for testing…

I thought JCPenney was bad, but this is really outrageous. If I was the business owner, I would tell Sysco to shove it…
