With eInvoice Automation, suppliers can invoice and make payments, saving time, money and improving their cash flow. Finally, Mobile Order Entry Automation permits suppliers to take orders on-the-fly and instantly access catalogs, product lists and images, which can lead to increased sales and faster service. For some suppliers, being able to place and view orders on the road or visiting an account can be beneficial.
The Supplier Services programs eliminate manual data entry and simplify repetitive and time consuming processes. Insight, accurate pricing and online tracking speed up orders and payments with alerts and easy access. Whether suppliers use one service or all of them, Purchase Order, Catalog, eInvoice and Mobile Order Entry automation will offer suppliers all of these benefits. However, more importantly, it will lead to better customer service, customer relationships and profitability.
