Data Masons now handles all of our compliance needs at a very reasonable cost and has reduced our transactions fees to a fraction of what we were paying with our old VAN. Using Vantage Point EDI we can process thousands of transactions with retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart with zero transaction fees – which we found not possible with hosted solutions.
Value Added Network (VAN) Service
Simple and affordable EDI connectivity with all of your trading partners
Data Masons' secure interconnects work with virtually every EDI VAN, including Sterling, IBM, GXS, Pubnet, ANX, Inovis, CommerceHub and iTrade. A low-cost AS2 connection is available for customers that do not need or desire to implement an in-house AS2 solution.
Significant savings over alternative VAN services
The Data Masons VAN service saves a typical customer 30-60% compared to other VAN services, with only a low monthly mailbox rental and a single kilo-character transaction fee (rate), which remains constant regardless of the networks your business partners use.
With the Data Masons VAN service there are no hidden charges, no document fees, no interconnect fees, no peak rate fees, etc. Instead, you get a simple, straightforward invoice for kilo-character usage.
