Businesses are under pressure to reduce prices. The need for a simple, inexpensive yet efficient channel of electronic communication among customers, suppliers and business partners in the supply chain is essential.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is becoming increasingly important as a method of buy­ing, selling and trading information online. Because it is relatively expensive to implement and complex to install, however, its use has remained confined to large suppliers.

New possibilities have opened up with the Internet and web-based (web-EDI) applications. Lower-cost and efficient web-EDI lets you communicate with all suppliers and other business partners in the supply chain.

IBS Web Supply Manager offers a new commu­nication channel. The software can be used to exchange a variety of transaction information. With Internet access and a web browser, sup­pliers have 24/7 access to essential business data. Every supplier receives a unique user-ID and password, with access restricted to their account-authorised information.

IBS Web Supply Manager provides a range of solutions for supply chain business commu­nication and processes and is integrated fully with IBS supply chain software, IBS Enterprise.

Today's competitive environment requires companies to build active and ongoing relationships with suppliers. The delivery schedule management tool gives you efficient and systematic control of delivery schedules. It lets you share that information with sup­pliers, forging closer business relationships. Delivery schedule functions include:

• Publish delivery schedules and forecasts

• Publish historical delivery schedules

• Email alerts to suppliers when new delivery schedules are available

• Net forecast delivery schedule calculation, reconciliation of shipments and deliveries

• Supplier functions for comparison of new/old schedules

• Supplier acknowledgement and comment on new schedules

• Print delivery schedules in PDF and XML format

• Statistical comparison of delivery schedules.
