Global plumbing technology leader will use TrueCommerce solution to optimize connectivity with trading partners
TrueCommerce, a HighJump company and a global provider of trading partner connectivity and integration solutions, has announced that Saniflo, the global plumbing technology leader, has adopted its Transaction Manager solution to optimize trading partner connectivity. The TrueCommerce flagship product is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, a global enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
“Saniflo continues rapid expansion in North America, and we needed a robust solution to automate connectivity with the growing number of trading partners,” said Regis Saragosti, CEO of Saniflo USA. “TrueCommerce was the answer: we selected it for effectiveness, ease-of-use, and integration simplicity. TrueCommerce industry footprint was also an important factor – leading suppliers and big-box retailers have strong and profitable relations with the company, so onboarding is both fast and predictable.”
The TrueCommerce solution selected by Saniflo has been vetted through the Certified for Microsoft Dynamics (CfMD) program. This rigorous process identifies third-party solutions that have met Microsoft’s highest standards for Dynamics implementations.
“We are excited to welcome Saniflo to our growing community of Dynamics NAV users,” said Haitham Ghadiry, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for TrueCommerce. “Their decision confirms the great promise for the cloud-first approach we are taking in North America and worldwide. It aligns nicely with our Microsoft Dynamics NAV approach and gives our customers solutions that do not require them to reinvent their business systems and processes.”
TrueCommerce for Microsoft Dynamics NAV integrates EDI workflows for order-to-cash, procure to pay and logistics processes into NAV while managing trading partner connectivity and unique mapping requirements in TrueCommerce’s global commerce network.
“We have already tested TrueCommerce in our European division and it worked perfectly,” noted Frédéric Carricaburu, Saniflo CIO. “It really helps to have key system elements in one package – NAV integration, data translation, global trading partner network and managed services. We are looking forward to replicating this success in North America.”
The Microsoft Dynamics NAV integration is seamlessly connected to the TrueCommerce Global Commerce Network which includes over 23,000 pre-connected retailers, distributors and logistics service providers. A true managed services provider, TrueCommerce manages the onboarding process for new trading partners as well as the ongoing management of trading partner specific mapping and labeling changes.

Collection of Products Provides Clean, Instant Heating
Berko®, a leading choice among contractors for heating and ventilation systems, offers a collection of five new electric infrared heaters that optimize infrared radiation for a faster, more energy-efficient heating solution.
These radiant infrared heaters were developed for light-commercial, light-industrial and residential units in need of localized, zonal heating, and are designed to fit a wide variety of applications, including:
- Small areas: porches, patios, garages, decks and work areas
- Model: QHRA11 (1500W, 120V)
- Mid-sized areas: restaurants, hotels and reception areas
- Model: QHRA66 (2000W, 240V)
- Large areas: car washes, loading docks, bus stops, and more
- Models: QV4440DTG, QVRC442056, QVR4440DWG
Short wave infrared heating works by heating objects, not the air around the heater. Infrared heaters optimize this short wave infrared energy through parabolic reflector technology, allowing for more than 60 percent of heat to be solely generated by the reflector, while the heating element only provides 40 percent – meaning high-performance heating that is matched by energy efficiency. Berko continues to build on this technology through the use of special symmetrical reflectors that optimize infrared performance.
“The high prices of propane per pound in the U.S., coupled with our exclusive reflector technology, provide a substantial cost difference for the end user,” said Dennis Krob, product manager for Marley Engineered Products. “In fact, replacing a propane infrared heater with a comparable electric infrared heater is both cheaper in installation and allows for cost savings of nearly $20 dollars per week.”
Other features of the radiant infrared heaters include:
• Instant effect – no warm-up required
• Uniform, localized, zonal heating – only where it is needed
• Versatile direction– even coverage across people and objects
• Clean heat – no combustion or odors
• Windproof – radiant heat doesn’t heat air, so heating temperature is unaffected by wind
• Dustproof – no air effect means no dust is stirred up
• IPX5-rated and weather-resistant for all outdoor locations
• 6 foot power cord with in-line on/off switch
“With this new line of heaters, we offer the ease of installation that contractors prefer and the dependability that their customers require,” said Krob. “The cost-saving benefits and technological advancements these heaters provide make a huge impact – no matter the application.”
