InformationLogistics Portals
Portals are becoming especially helpful for companies that lack the resources and best-in-class capabilities to connect data with trading partners to help solve complex logistics problems. They provide numerous benefits. For example, portals:
- Help distribution center employees monitor inventory with ease
- Deliver flash reports with key information for executives
- Enable data integration to TMS, WMS and OMS systems (an excellent fit for users in countries without EDI, XML or enterprise system access)
- Enable exceptional visibility into systems and processes for trading partners throughout the network.
In a retail environment, portals allow buyers to determine their cash positions immediately, enabling real-time strategic business decisions. With so many users and excellent functionality, portals are proving to be the ideal supply chain and logistics application.
