What can this service achieve?

The statuses of progress across multiple companies can be managed in a list.

  • This list manages the progress statuses of stages from placing an order to receiving delivered products, and visualizes the user's to-do list.
  • The delivery plan (including available-to-promise and scheduled deliveries, as well as actual deliveries) is obtained from the supplier and applied to the progress status list.
    The user can either accept the available-to-promise delivery date or request an adjustment on delivery.
  • Available functions and reference information can be controlled according to each user.
    Up-to-date information is shared among related parties, including secondary suppliers and logistics companies, thereby speeding up SCM.

Information, such as quote information and order histories, is shared among the relevant parties.
Various form layouts and workflows can be used to standardize company rules.

  • Information about supplier selection can be shared among multiple relevant parties.
    Data can be managed by evaluation data item, based on categories such as product items, QCD*1, and technical information.
  • Company rules, such as rules for the selection of suppliers, can be standardized by using functions such as the competitive quote function and the electronic settlement function.
    The layout of business forms can also be unified with the layout used by clients, by using the form issuing function.
  • Project statuses and histories can be managed among the relevant parties, and compliance can be improved.
    Order histories can be used to compare orders before and after a change is made.

*1 An abbreviation for quality, cost, and delivery, which are three important factors that are mainly emphasized in production management in the manufacturing industry.

You can reduce the number of work hours needed to follow up on a problem by using the alert function to issue notifications of problematic projects.

  • The progress status list can be used to manage the number of new projects for each business process.
    Because the check status of each supplier is shared, the user can be prompted to check suppliers as necessary.
  • From the list, the user can check the number of unprocessed and delayed projects.
    Problematic projects can be identified at an early stage by using the alert notification function.
  • A notification email is automatically sent to supplier to prevent a project from being overlooked or to prevent processing from being forgotten.

Flexible customization makes it possible to implement a system that is suitable for the buyer’s business practice.

  • Ordering information is created according to the status of the customer’s core systems.
    Linkage from the core system and linkage with quote replies via a browser window are also possible. Purchase orders can be output and printed in PDF format.
