Do you have a large number of suppliers? Then you probably share a problem with many other companies; that some of your suppliers are not connected via EDI. The reasons for this can be several, but common is that these suppliers lack the resources or technology to implement an integration with their customers. Understandably, however, this means that parts of your business flows still need to be handled manually, with increased time and risk of errors. But it doesn't have to be this way. If full integration is not possible, you can instead set up a digital meeting place, a supplier portal, to create digital flow in your inbound flows.
Supplier portal links together
The digital meeting place is an interface between you and the supplier. All the business data, such as an order, that you would have shared with an integrated supplier is instead automatically sent to the meeting place. The supplier is then notified and can log in to access and manage the information. Of course, the reverse is also true. The supplier enters their business transactions into the supplier portal, such as order confirmations, delivery notifications and invoices. These are sent automatically and in the correct format into your ERP system, just like any EDI-connected supplier .
Seamless communication
The key to optimized business flows is integration and automation. That business transactions are transferred as seamlessly as possible, with as little manual handling as possible. Because really it is quite obvious, why spend time recording data that someone else has already entered at an earlier stage? Those of your employees who would otherwise have entered the information into your ERP system can now instead use their time to create value.
The major benefits for companies that channel their suppliers into a portal solution are structure, consistency and efficiency. The suppliers themselves record all the business data you want to receive, which relieves your organisation. No time-wasting, no headaches due to manual errors at your end of the chain. In short - digital flow.
