Orchestrate Order Management
Direct materials procurement is usually one of the more inefficient and labor-intensive supply chain processes, involving numerous exchanges with multiple suppliers. E2open’s Purchase Order Collaboration application automates and streamlines end-to-end order management with your suppliers. The result is increased productivity, reduced transactional costs and improvements in supplier on-time deliveries.
Collaborative Order and Fulfillment Processes
Collaboration and the resulting visibility build trust between parties. Confidence in promised delivery dates enables brand owners to reduce safety stock. Suppliers lower their process costs and receive payments faster.
