Solution · Supply chain collaboration

From supplier to customer, always know where the goods are

Purchasing is negotiated over email, deliveries are chased by phone, and once goods leave the gate they disappear. With SRM, WMS, TMS and ERP connected, suppliers, warehouses, carriers and customers see the same plans and status.

Sound familiar?

The problems usually sit between departments

  • Unreliable supplier delivery

    You only find out a delivery is late when it is due.

  • Opaque purchasing

    RFQs, comparisons and awards run on spreadsheets and email.

  • Inaccurate inventory

    The system says it is in stock but nobody can find it.

  • No in-transit visibility

    Where the shipment is and when it will arrive takes a phone call.

How it connects

Sourcing → Settlement, in one continuous flow

    Sourcing

    RFQs, tenders and comparisons run online, with prices and contracts on record.

  2. 02 · ERP · SRM

    Ordering

    Purchase orders go to the supplier portal and suppliers confirm delivery dates online.

  3. 03 · WMS

    Receiving

    Deliveries are received by scanning and put away after inspection.

  4. 04 · TMS

    Shipping

    Plan loads, choose carriers, dispatch vehicles and track the whole trip.

    Settlement

    Purchasing and freight are reconciled and settled against the same receipt and shipment data.
