Easy Source Supplier Extranet
Supply chains span from raw materials, to manufacturing,
distribution, transportation, warehousing and product sales.
As the number of resources, operations, and functions increase,
managing the supply chain can become very complex. More over,
with most organizations going global, their suppliers reside
in distant locations. Added to this, they maintain their own
dealer and vendor networks making tracking impossible for
an organization. Management of resources and relationships
along the supply chain is termed as supplier extranet.
Most importantly, supplier extranet is about getting the
right material at the right time in the right place in the
most cost efficient manner. It involves greater real-time
connectivity, visibility, velocity and collaboration through
all levels of the supply chain.
Supplier Extranet involves the tools and process that are
used to manage the external trading partner relationships
comprising the supply side of an organization's supply chain.
Wipro-01markets' supplier extranet tool is a Web-enabled
tool that facilitates participative, collaborative and a non-serialised
method of addressing the business needs of the buy side supply
chain comprehensively.
