Dramatically Accelerate Manufacturing Trading Partner Onboarding and Partner Data Exchange
Are you spending excessive time and money manually processing data to support partner onboarding and partner data exchange?
To gain control of their supply chains, many manufacturers must be able to connect and collaborate with 100 percent of trading partners. But up to 80 percent of these partners are unable to support traditional B2B formats for partner data exchange. These manufacturers are forced to invest in costly and time-consuming manual workarounds to integrate with and exchange data with trading partners.
The results are often less than optimal. Manufacturers deal with information delays as well as incomplete and error-filled information, which they must validate and correct before they can determine inventory levels and production capacity.
To avoid these obstacles, manufacturers need technology that allows them to easily support partner onboarding and improve their partner data exchange.
