Buyer-Supplier Relationship

Reduce Supplier Inquiries

Both you and your suppliers will benefit from viewing the same information through web-based access to all open orders. iSC modules open the window into the buyer-supplier relationship with instant visibility to the procurement process by providing access to all open orders and shipments, plus the history for past activity. iSC provides tools that allow the sharing of information that eliminates the past barriers built by the miscommunication of production schedules and orders. By pushing these barriers aside, you will forge stronger links within the supply chain and create more productive and responsive relationships.

Easily Manage Demand Changes

You can instantly notify your suppliers that their orders have changed and they can take the necessary actions to view and download the new demand schedules. Multiple order types can be assigned to a supplier, allowing the buyer to optimize the order fulfillment and receiving processes.  The various order types supported include blanket orders, stand-alone purchase orders, forecast releases, and shipping schedules. The complete order processing cycle is tracked historically and supported by a complete reporting and auditing function built into the application.
