Streamline two-way communication with a digitally connected supply chain network
We live in a hyper-connected world where supply chains depend on multi-tier third-party suppliers working in tight coordination and collaboration. Yet, despite the critical need for real-time B2B transactions, communication between suppliers and customers is counterproductive. With Iptor’s Automation & Collaboration solutions, business value is delivered quickly and incrementally via a proven methodology for implementing end-to-end supply chain and distribution functionality.
Iptor EDI solutions integrate with existing business applications to fully automate processes – and can manage the exchange of transactional information in a structured and automatic way. This includes any kind of transactional documentation including purchase orders, delivery notes, inventory levels, invoices, orders, advanced shipping notes, product catalogs, price lists, and inventory.
