Introduction to the TRUsource General Motors Data Exchange community

TRUsource is a product included with the Rocket Software Cloud B2B Supply Chain Integration Platform. This product lets companies establish communities where company employees can create a Request for Quote (RFQ) and related information, which is shared with potential suppliers who can submit responses with quotations.

In these TRUsource communities, files of any type can be attached to the RFQ forms that are used by the creator and responder.

The TRUsource GM community is an instance of this type of community. General Motors employees create Requests (such as an RFI, RFQ, or Post Sourcing Letter), sending forms and their attached files to partners in the community. Partner employees respond by sending quotations as well as related files.

When Rocket Software creates a TRUsource community for a company, that company is the owner of the community. The community owner pays for a certain number of partner companies, locations, and user subscriptions for itself and its partners.

When a partner user is invited to join a TRUsource Community, there is no cost for the partner company, because the community owner has already paid for it.
