IDEA OrdrTrak Reaches Milestone, Welcomes Legrand as 50th Manufacturer
Arlington, VA, January 31, 2025 – The Industry Data Exchange Association, Inc. (IDEA), with the support of TradeTech Solutions, is pleased to announce that IDEA OrdrTrak, has achieved a major milestone in supply chain technology innovation as Legrand becomes the 50th manufacturer to join their industry-leading platform. This achievement highlights IDEA OrdrTrak’s emergence as a resilient, event-driven system that connects manufacturers, manufacturer reps, distributors, and contractors through real-time data synchronization.
The platform’s transformative 2024 growth extends beyond numbers, demonstrating its ability to streamline complex supply chain interactions. Now supporting over 90 companies with more than 3,500 system logins, IDEA OrdrTrak has established direct integration with Epicor Eclipse ERP and connects industry leaders including Acuity Brands, Signify, RAB Lighting, Green Creative, ILP, Pass & Seymour, Cree Lighting, and Watt Stopper.
“Reaching 50 manufacturers represents more than a milestone—it validates our vision of creating a dynamic, responsive supply chain network,” said David Oldfather, CEO of IDEA. “IDEA OrdrTrak has evolved into a comprehensive platform that eliminates complex point-to-point integrations while enabling real-time data flow across the entire electrical supply chain.”
The platform’s robust architecture delivers critical functionality including multi-location inventory checking, local rep stock access, purchase order management, and real-time pricing. More importantly, it creates a single connection point that reduces direct system dependencies while distributing order and inventory events across multiple systems instantaneously.
IDEA and TradeTech Solutions continue to expand IDEA OrdrTrak’s capabilities to adapt to changing supply chain conditions. By replacing traditional 1:1 connections between manufacturers and selling agents with a one-to-all centralized platform, IDEA OrdrTrak simplifies the technology infrastructure that industry leaders have been looking for to reduce the work required to maintain hundreds of connections to individual customers.
