Benefits

Parker distributors who run their business on TrulinX benefit from:

• Hose Assemblies
  Ability to track eligible hose assemblies, print out PTS barcode labels with the unique ID number, and send information to Parker Hannifin when one of these assemblies is sold.

• Sales Reporting
  TrulinX generates a sales report at the end of the month that contains the information required by Parker Hannifin, such as the sales of all Parker items, separated into regular sales and counter sales. Additionally, you're easily able to report component sales within complex bills-of-material per Parker requirements. Most importantly, it will eliminate the need to export data to Excel or custom design a report. It is a standard option on our menu!

• Calculation of Rebates
  With TrulinX, your software generates a rebate report at the end of the month that contains an invoice, Rebate Code and rebate amount. And the same report calculates the total amount due - all done on one single setup screen with two fields, improving accuracy & saving valuable time and money.

• Easily Handle Price Updates and Item Uploading
  TrulinX can easily upload catalogs and new Parker Inventory and update your Parker pricing, saving significant time and money over doing it manually. And you can do it prior to the price change and enter an effective date.

• Parker Tracking System (PTS) Integration
  Tribute, Inc. teamed with Parker Hannifin to ensure our customers can integrate with Parker’s Tracking System (PTS). With TrulinX, you will be able to track eligible hose assemblies, print out PTS barcode labels with the unique ID number, and send information to Parker-Hannifin when one of these assemblies is sold.
  

• PHconnect and PHAST Integration
  TrulinX allows you to easily generate a Purchase Order output file for the Parker Hannifin PHAST program, then transfer via FTP to the PHconnect web site for processing. It’s free - no EDI expenses!

• Parker Stores
  Easily handle your walk-in business with our counter module designed specifically with Parker Stores in mind. It allows for easy and quick entry of items, kits, and hose assemblies at the counter. A swift check-out process handles checks, cash, credit cards or on-accounts and ends up with a very attractive customer receipt and day-end transaction analysis.

• Streamlined Entry of Parker Hose Assemblies
  TrulinX software is designed so that you only need one format for an entire Parker Hose Series (i.e. Parker 43 Series). It walks customer service personnel through a step-by-step process generating assemblies quickly and easily. TrulinX even calculates the cut length and labor based upon the length of the hose and diameter of the fittings. Entering hose assemblies at the counter is easily and quickly done, ensuring your customers don’t have to wait.

• EDI Integration
  TrulinX allows you to easily import inbound EDI invoices (810 transactions) and get PO Acknowledgements (855) from Parker. This can be helpful for credit card vendors for whom many charges are contained on a single invoice.

• Parker Mobile Trucks
  TrulinX can help you manage mobile inventory, have complete visibility into mobile inventory from any company location, and prepare trucks each morning with a restocking pick ticket.
