Is TradeCard Right For You?
What kind of company can benefit from TradeCard?
TradeCard effectively serves a wide range of companies, especially manufacturers and retailers of finished goods.
Large brand owners and retailers with sophisticated ERP systems can leverage their investment to fully automate their
supply chain from purchase order all the way through financial settlement. Smaller companies with minimal IT
infrastructure often use TradeCard for much of their order management through payment automation. And when large
companies communicate with their smaller suppliers, they do not have to use the same expensive software or EDI
service. The large company can integrate directly with TradeCard to download its ERP data. Smaller companies can
access that same data through TradeCard's browser - all they need is Internet access. So large companies can easily
communicate with small companies through the TradeCard platform - without any hardware or software purchase.
