SUCCESS STORY
Business Challenge
An EDI “Reverse Setup” solution was required to integrate with Acumen Holdings NetSuite Accounts.
Solution
B2BGateway developed a unique solution that allowed Acumen Holdings to send Purchase Orders and import Invoices directly into NetSuite.
Results
B2BGateway implemented a unique EDI solution quickly and at low cost. This effectively removed a very large amount of manual processing saving Acumen Holdings time and money.

CUSTOMER PROFILE
Acumen Holdings trading as Acumen Brands is a young aggressive Arkansas E-Commerce organization with total revenues exceeding $50 million. In 2009 the firm acquired a medical uniform business Scrubshopper.com and has since added the following E-Commerce stores to its portfolio: Toughweld.com, Babyhabit.com and Trailsedge.com, all offering different forms of apparel and safety work equipment. The firm has also developed Litely Salted an online trivia site and an Online Dermatology Clinic which launched this year.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Acumen Holdings needed an EDI ‘Reverse Set Up’ solution. They needed to send EDI 850 Purchase Orders and import EDI 810 Invoices from their suppliers and trading partners, rather than vice versa. Finding an EDI ‘Reverse Set Up’ solution proved quite a challenge for Acumen Holdings, who wanted to automate and grow their business in a relatively short time frame.
SOLUTION
Acumen Holdings contacted NetSuite’s EDI Partner, B2BGateway.Net to find a solution for their EDI ‘Reverse Set Up’ quandary which was costing them time and money. B2BGateway.Net, NetSuite’s EDI Partner since 2001, developed a unique solution that allowed Acumen Holdings to import an EDI 810 Invoice into NetSuite and match it back to the original EDI 850 Purchase Order that was sent.
BUSINESS BENEFITS
The solution as a whole saved a huge amount of manual entry associated with the hand keying of invoices into their NetSuite accounts and freed up much needed company resources and time. This has also paved the way for Acumen Holdings to develop and grow many more E-Commerce sites and to trade with organizations such as Carhartt and the Columbia Sportswear Company. B2BGateway, being NetSuite’s long established EDI Solution Provider Partner, have provided an easy, fully-integrated and cost.
