Security and authenticity

Are TradeTrust documents secured and authentic?

TradeTrust-enabled electronic documents are functional equivalents to their paper-based versions. They are saved as TradeTrust (.tt) files containing the data, which can be easily transmitted to stakeholders across the supply chain over your existing business/IT system via email, FTP, portal uploads/downloads, and legacy EDI systems etc. There are no restrictions on the use of data formats or standards. You can also save the documents in pdf format with a QR code.ary
