What We Do
TradeCard Automates and Integrates Sourcing, Finance and Logistics to Extend Visibility and Control of Your Global Transactions
Address Blind Spots that Result in Disconnects and Delays
Your product transactions likely include many of the following: raw material suppliers, manufacturers, inspections, agents, local offices, headquarters, design, planning, purchasing , accounts payable, labeling/packaging supplier, freight carrier, financial institutions, government institutions, customs and third party warehouses. ERP systems traditionally only follow design, planning, purchasing, shipment tracking, payment - and only from their in-house perspective. Different partners along the road are only linked in with visibility if they belong to the same company working on the same system. Other connectivity points like EDI are spotted and very inconsistent, indicating only a portion of the transaction such as large vendors involved or including only purchase orders, but not invoices.
Some point initiatives have tried to break into the disconnect:
PLM with a collaborative design approach. Sourcing with a vendor portal. Freight tracking with a freight forwarder or tracking system. But nobody has really looked at the entire series of steps that occur to produce a product, or mapped the supply chain design as one seamless chain that follows the creation process of the product.
Until now.
TradeCard can link everybody into the process and make delays everywhere in the process visible. TradeCard is breaking down barriers in the transaction process. With TradeCard it doesn't matter whether the party concerned is external or internal to a company, where it sits, what system it uses.
The latest TradeCard enhancements help users to truly map the supply chain to the entire sourcing process, not just portions of it. If outside parties are not as involved as they should be, the supply chain has issues and expected delays - raw materials financing issues, miscommunication, shortage of labels, expediting product.
A Total Supply Chain approach injects freight tracking and supplier enablement into the sourcing and financing mix to close previous visibility gaps in the supply chain. For the first time, companies that source can chaperone the product from raw material to the store, through all relevant parties and steps - with complete visibility and control.
Buying and selling globally is complex, but TradeCard makes it easier - and cheaper.
