The short answer

Does AIMS360 work with Rally House?

Yes. Rally House is a live AIMS360 EDI trading partner. Its store purchase orders arrive as the 850 and become sales orders against your styles, colors and sizes. AIMS360 prints the carton labels, sends the 856 ship notice from the packed shipment and bills the 810 invoice from the same record.

Rally House stocks each store for its local teams, so the same chain buys different styles for different cities. The vendor guide it gives your brand says where the cartons go and which documents it expects, and our EDI team builds to that guide.

EDI documents

The EDI documents AIMS360 trades with Rally House

Built from the same records that run your inventory and warehouse.

Document Direction How AIMS360 handles it
EDI 850 purchase order Rally House to you Imported as a sales order and matched to your catalog by UPC, with the ship-to and the ship and cancel dates on the order.
EDI 856 ship notice (ASN) You to Rally House Built from the scanned cartons at shipment close, with the carton detail from each label.
EDI 810 invoice You to Rally House Generated from the same shipment, so quantities match the ASN and the PO.
EDI 997 acknowledgment Both ways Exchanged both ways. On AIMS360's own EDI, outbound documents with no 997 back are checked every hour, so a missing acknowledgment gets chased.
GS1-128 carton label On every carton Printed as cartons close, from the store or DC data on the order, to the layout in the vendor guide.
EDI 855 and 860 If the guide asks Acknowledgments and changes, built into the same connection when your vendor guide lists them.

This is the standard retailer set AIMS360 runs. The vendor guide Rally House gives your brand sets the exact list and the label layout.

Licensed product

What licensed fan apparel needs from your system

Royalties, team styles and long orders of small quantities.

01

Royalties on the style

Licensed product owes the licensor a royalty. AIMS360 tracks it per style, as a percent of sales or a fixed amount per unit, and a royalties due report lists what you owe each licensor for a period.

02

One team per style

A design for one school or one club is its own style with its own size run and UPCs, so a Rally House order for that market lands on exactly those styles.

03

Long orders, small lines

Orders from a chain stocked market by market can run to many styles with a few units each. The 850 lands against your style, color and size records, so nobody keys it.

04

Blanks to finished goods

If you decorate blanks, AIMS360 receives screen printing and outside processing on the same records, so finished goods are on hand before the Rally House pick. See blanks to finished goods.

Drop ship

Shipping rallyhouse.com orders to fans

Only if your agreement includes it. Here is how AIMS360 runs it when it does.

Rally House also sells online. If your agreement includes shipping rallyhouse.com orders straight to fans, the vendor guide names the platform and the rules, and AIMS360 runs it on the drop ship workflow below. We have not found a public description of the Rally House drop ship program, so the guide is the source.

01

The order is one shopper

Each Rally House drop ship 850 carries the shopper's home address as the ship-to. You pick one or two units, ship on the account the program names, and send the 856 with the tracking number.

02

Availability goes out on a schedule

The 846 inventory advice tells Rally House what it may sell. AIMS360 sends it from the same stock record your wholesale orders draw on, on a schedule you set per trading partner.

03

Automation in two halves

Order processing imports the 850, creates and allocates the order and exports the pick ticket. Shipment processing brings the pick ticket back, builds the 856, invoices and sends the 810. Switch each half on per trading partner.

04

Bulk stays bulk

Drop ship automation covers drop ship orders only. Store and DC orders still run through picking, carton labels and the ASN, because the unit is a carton, not a parcel. See drop ship EDI.

Setup

Getting live with Rally House, in order

Our EDI team runs this with you.

  1. Get the vendor number and the guide

    Your Rally House buyer issues the vendor number. Ask for the current vendor guide, and the drop ship guide if you are on that program, and send them to our EDI team.

  2. Build the customer account

    Add the vendor number, ship via, terms and FOB, pick the trading partner on the EDI tab and switch on the documents the guide lists.

  3. Load stores and DCs

    Import the store list so each store code matches the 850, and cross reference stores to a distribution center if the guide routes through one.

  4. Set up royalties

    Attach each licensed style to its licensor with the royalty rate, so the royalties due report is right from the first shipment.

  5. Approve the label and test

    Print a sample carton label for approval, then run a test 850 through the 856 and 810 with our EDI team.

  6. Go live

    We watch the first live order through to the invoice and keep the map current as the guide changes.
