For whom: Purchasers

What is DICO 3.1 and why use it?

DICO 3.1 is a standard for digitally exchanging order data between you and your wholesaler. Within BarTrack, this standard is used via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).

What does this mean in practice?

Orders are sent automatically and digitally
Reduced risk of errors (no manual emails)
Order confirmations and status updates are returned to BarTrack
Possibility to order directly to a project or delivery address
Faster order processing

This allows you to work more efficiently and gives you real-time insight into your orders.

Setting up the DICO 3.1 integration – step by step

Step 1: Check if your wholesaler supports DICO 3.1

Log in to order.bartrack.com.
Go to My Wholesalers.
Click on the wholesaler for which you want to activate the integration.
Look for the block “Automatic ordering (EDI – XML Sales 005)”.

If you see this block, the wholesaler supports automatic ordering via DICO 3.1.

Step 2: Enter your EDI details

In the Automatic ordering section, enter the details you received from your wholesaler:

Customer ID
Username
Password
GLN (if required)

You usually receive these details from your wholesaler or their EDI department.

Click Test connection to verify that the connection works correctly.

✔ If the test is successful, the integration is active.
✖ If you receive an error message, check the entered details or contact your wholesaler.

Step 3: Set your GLN (if required)

Some wholesalers require your company’s GLN (Global Location Number).

Go to My Company in BarTrack.
Enter your GLN.
Save the information.

The GLN is used to uniquely identify your organization within EDI communication.

Ordering via DICO 3.1

Once the integration is active:

Send orders as you normally would via BarTrack
The order is automatically transmitted digitally to the wholesaler
Order confirmations and status updates are automatically returned

When sending the order, you can also:

Add a reference

Select a specific delivery address

All information is processed through the same DICO standard.

Important tip

Always test the connection before sending your first order. This ensures the integration is set up correctly and prevents delays in your ordering process.
