[Having one version of data] has been the most powerful thing. And we can make it electronic, so we can share it with anyone...We can all work together and develop processes that work across departments. We don't have to look at things just from a finance perspective. We can reach out to other departments who are using this information on the same platform, and find reconciliation points that work for both of us.

  - John Bailey
    Director of Finance
    Columbia Sportswear

[TradeCard] definitely understood our business, and could explain to us what they thought the synergies would be across the organization down the road...[TradeCard] provides points of reference that we didn't have before.

"TradeCard has just been far and above the best thing we've done. Buyers and suppliers can track the order from beginning to end, fixing discrepancies and negotiating details in real time. And both sides can also tell exactly when shipments are to arrive and payments are to be made. We're thrilled about it."

"TradeCard lets us focus on making toys instead of processing transactions. TradeCard means less paperwork, lower costs, and shorter turnaround times for our trade transactions. We can determine the status of a transaction and see where the electronic documents are at all times - a refreshing improvement over keeping track of paper documents."

- Carmen Chong
Kiddieland Toys Limited

"We needed a web-based solution that would allow us to electronically exchange documents both intra-and extra- company, and reduce the amount of paper involved in the process. Using TradeCard's trade transaction management platform has allowed us to cut down on the amount of paper that is shuffled significantly, and to reach an unprecedented level of speed, accuracy and full transparency of the trade process. It has also resulted in greater customer satisfaction and consistent cost reductions."

"We've been pleased with TradeCard since we started using it... TradeCard helps us better manage the flow of cash against the movement of goods from our vendors. The system streamlines our procurement process, provides us the information we need to make payment decisions, and saves us money. It's a simple, solid system."
