Improving Supply Chain Performance and Vendor Compliance with On-Demand Software

How Retailers, Consumer Goods, and High Tech Companies Can Improve Operations And Reduce Chargebacks by Monitoring Data Flows and Supply Chain Execution

Supply Chain Integration and Collaboration continues to be the source of tremendous potential in the retail supply chain. But despite the many programs to share data and integrate processes, 20% error rates in partner transactions continue to drag down performance and profit.  

Do these problems sound familiar?

• Late Advanced Ship Notifications (ASN) delay inbound logistics and add to operating costs
• Mismatched quantities between ASN and Purchase Orders trigger deductions and out-of-stocks
• Multi-month supplier “on-boarding” processes steal the ROI from collaboration and integration initiaitives

For retailers, poor data quality can sideline inventory and lead to out-of-stocks.  For vendors, errors trigger costly chargebacks and 3-4x longer receivables cycles. 

In this informative Supply Chain Videocast from Supply Chain Digest and The Supply Chain Television Channel, you’ll gain insight into the scope and impact of these problems, and how hosted software solutions can monitor real-time B2B transactions to find and fix errors before they impact the supply chain - or your bottom line.
