By taking away all of the supplier’s excuses for not getting connected, Onetrail makes it possible to connect 100 percent of your suppliers to your own system, with data in your format.
Your challenge: connecting small suppliers
Connecting your largest suppliers usually isn’t the problem. You, as a large customer, are important enough for them and receive sufficient priority. It is usually the smaller suppliers that give you a headache.
Obstacles connecting small suppliers
There are many different suppliers
Small suppliers are often less advanced when it comes to EDI
Their revenue is too small to justify a costly and complex EDI implementation
There are many different suppliers
Our three solutions:
Approaching all these suppliers one by one is not the ideal solution. So what does work? To connect smaller suppliers, we offer the Onetrail Supplier Portal. You will also be able to use the extensive Trading Partner Network (TPN) or you can outsource your EDI implementation to Onetrail.
1. Supplier Portal
The Supplier Portal offers everything a supplier needs to do business with all customers. Like connecting more customers, product and assortment supply, receiving electronic orders and providing feedback.
EDI implementations usually take a lot of time, money and resources. EDI Outsourcing helps you save a lot of costs. And it guarantees that the EDI connection will always be up and running, which safeguards any changes.
Hundreds of trading partners are already connected to the Trading Partner Network. Onetrail offers you the opportunity to use this network as well, and connects your format to Onetrail’s format, so you can get started right away.
