MessageXchange

MessageXchange is Tradegate's highly secure any-to-any messaging service that translates an electronic message from the sender's format to the receiver's format and vice versa. This enables true straight-through-processing (STP) eliminating errors and improving timeliness.

MessageXchange is designed to enable straight-through-processing. That is, the receipt of information in such a form that it can be simply uploaded into the business application of the receiver without the need to re-key the data.

This service is ideal for customers who have:

• high volumes of data (or documents) to process e.g. several hundred commercial invoices; or
• small volumes of documents but large volumes of data e.g. a small number of import declarations where there is a high volume of line items contained in the commercial invoice; or
• time restrictions on processing data e.g. waiting on data from overseas before Customs declarations can be finalised; or
• trading partners either locally or overseas, and would like to transact with those customers in an electronic manner, but the file format of the data is different to their back-end software system.

MessageXchange can receive information from a variety of communications protocols including:

• Email (SMTP - simple mail transfer protocol)
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and FTPS (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
• HTTP and HTTP/S (Hypertext transfer protocol and secure hypertext transfer protocol); and
• IBM Websphere MQ

MessageXchange can receive a number of different file formats and tanslate those formats into other formats including:

• UN/EDIFACT EDI - the EDI standard used by the international trade and transport community;
• ANSI X.12 EDI - a popular North American EDI standard;
• XML;
• Various flat file formats including pipe delimited files and CSV (comma separated value) files; and
• A variety of other proprietary file formats
