Many Supplier-Customer cross-enterprise workflows involve manual processes currently facilitated by email, texting and phone communications. While widely available, these tools are inefficient and weren't purpose-built to solve these problems or properly automate these workflows. These workflows include new SKU creation; lead time updates; RFQs; purchase order creation, order acknowledgement, status-tracking, shipment, and receipt; and invoice processing. Benefits of Automation: Manual processes introduce adverse characteristics into these inbound supply chain workflows, including: • non-standardized process steps and data; • data and process errors; • an inability to track the state of the workflow and therefore status of a transaction at any point in time; • process lag time; • traceability issues regarding transactional performance; and • measurement issues regarding specific transaction sets, workflows, and overall supply chain performance. For a Customer, the above adverse characteristics manifest in higher overhead costs, lower gross margins, underutilization of operational assets and labor, reduced outbound On-Time Delivery (OTD), and increased need for working capital.
