We developed the Vendor Supply Chain Guide to serve as an online, automated version of the entire human process of ordering and buying goods and having them shipped to you.  Wouldn't you like to have control of the products that flow into your business from your vendors?  
And wouldn't you like to be able to manage your vendors with your rules for shipping compliance, complete with economic impact for non-compliance?

This custom Web site and application introduces the concept of your company managing the entire process of in-bound freight to your company. You control the information that your vendors follow in order to do business with your company. Vendors will need to fit your mode of business.

The process begins with the vendors logging in to your secure Web site.  They can come to the site to perform several key tasks in the vendor relationship:

• Register their company profile as one of your vendors
  
• Request shipment on the Purchase Orders they would like to ship to you
  
• Upon permission to ship those Purchase Orders, the vendor is told when and where to send the shipment
  
• Select a carrier by plugging in some basic elements like where the shipment is originating, the destination, and how much it weighs.  Your system then returns the pre-approved carrier to use for that shipment
  
• Get advice on how to package shipments to send to your company
  
• Get details on what to include on the bill of lading and what specific data items you require on all shipments from each vendor
  

The client uses the Vendor Supply Chain Guide to update routing and rate tables, pull down vendor information.

If you are a big-type retail organization, you're already doing this system manually.  You may even have a staff of people who repeat these same tasks day-in and day-out.  Our Vendor Supply Chain Guide gives you the means to control your inbound freight.   It's the means for any small to intermediate-sized company to possess and deploy services and products just like the –big guys" without having the –big guy" budgets and resources.  Our system makes you look big.  And there are no administration or overhead charges for you to have and deploy this customized solution.

Part of the benefit of the Vendor Supply Chain Guide is the working concept of vendor compliance to your specified ways of doing business with your company.  If the vendor does not comply, there may be an economic impact.  These economic impacts can be outlined in detail within the secure site.

We give our clients an enterprise-wide, highly integrated vendor management system. We do the work for you and give you the ability to populate it with your own parameters. And then you deploy it.
