CWT - The Hundredweight Supplier Solution With The Lighter Feel!
Given that the 80/20 rule seems to apply everywhere, it’s likely that if you are wanting to EDI enable all of your Suppliers (and you should want to in most cases), up to 80% cannot justify an integrated solution or do not have ERP systems to integrate to!
“But why bother to EDI enable all of my Supply Chain, surely having most of my business purchases which are achieved with my top 20% of Suppliers is good enough!”
It’s a bit like “ what did the Romans do for us?” if you start to think about it!
Ask yourself these questions:
- How much does it cost me to process the 80% of Suppliers paperwork say Invoices?
- How quickly will I know if a Supplier cannot fulfil my order so that I can seek an alternative Supplier?
- How much time and effort is spent on corrections caused by manual processes?
- How can I provide my Customers with the best possible service if 80% of my Suppliers are not providing me with the best possible service?
Community Web Trader (CWT) is the answer, and is now available in a variety of forms. It complements the integrated solutions, that you may have, for rolling out to Suppliers; and if you are not doing that, we can help you there too with our EDI Managed Services.
- We can provide it to you as a software application (Hosted by us, as a managed service, or by you the Retailer/Wholesaler) and help you integrate it to your ERP system, and then WE roll it out to your Supplier community on your behalf. Normally this would us our managed service platform.
- Alternatively, We can provide it to you as a software application (Hosted by us or by you the Retailer/Wholesaler) and help you integrate it to your ERP system, and then YOU can roll it out/provide it to your Supplier community, as you wish.
CWT will come with a configured set of Document types (Orders, Invoices, Credit Notes, and Delivery Notes, etc).
