  Immediate Benefits

i2B’s eSRM lets your buyers know your suppliers capability by alerting them when an order
cannot be fulfilled on time. The benefits for the supplier are that they are notified immediately via email when a new order has been placed on their account in the eSRM application or if an existing order has changed, they are also notified when they are going to be paid and of any complications associated with orders – for example rejected items.

Self Service

Supplier self-service removes non-value added tasks from the purchasing department by empowering employees and your suppliers, and allowing you to focus on maximising your supplier base.

Supplier Performance

By reducing the complexity of the information our clients have been able to reduce costs by having data represented in such a way that supplier’s performance can be monitored and preferred suppliers are easily identified.

Reduce Costs
It used to be common practise for a company to carry extra inventory to cover potential shortages, as they are unsure of their suppliers' ability to meet demand.

Giving your supplier access to your demand cycle gives them a clear picture of what is required and by when.

This not only eliminates stock outs but will also dramatically reduce costs.

  Poor Supply Chain Visibilities

Most companies don’t know exactly when critical supply shipments will be arriving from their suppliers or what they have committed to delivering.

By consolidated from many sources, i2B’s eSRM allows your supplier’s access to all the information related to them, including historic, current and forecasted data.

Supplier Non-Compliance

When a company has adopted a best practise strategy it is essential that suppliers are included into the equation.

This is not always an easy task. When suppliers don’t comply with your business processes, problems occur.

Deadlines are missed, supply shipments arrive unexpectedly and you have to spend even more time and resources to resolve the problems.
