Supplier Collaboration & Inbound Shipments
Supplier updates and inbound shipment tracking
Supplier Collaboration & Inbound Shipments handles supplier communication and the goods on their way to you. Procurement and warehouse teams see what vendors are sending and prepare to receive it.
Inbound shipment tracking and supplier collaboration capabilities
When supplier communication is scattered across emails, vendor documents go missing or out of date and shipment information sits on a manual list. Warehouse teams are not ready for incoming goods, and nobody can link supplier updates to receiving.
Supplier notifications and RFIs
Send supplier notifications and requests for information (RFIs) from one connected environment, so follow-up with suppliers is easier to see.
