The Supplier portal automates and simplifies the retailer interaction with the Supplier community. Removing costly and inefficient manual processes is paramount in today’s highly competitive retail environment.
The Supplier portal is a complete customizable cloud-based SaaS solution to interface to the supplier community from a retailer.
It is an agile extension of the retailer ERP system and able to keep pace with the constant business changes required without costly and often “less than timely” ERP IT Department changes.
It is important to note that we complement the ERP solution which is always viewed as the primary data source. A key benefit for the retailer is that just one interface to the Endoxa Supplier portal is required whereas the Supplier portal itself can offer a myriad of interfaces to the supplier community depending on the size and IT sophistication of the supplier, ranging from a Web service interaction to a pdf download from the portal.
