Managing your supply chain community - herding cats?

Most retailers interact with their suppliers in an ad-hoc way across departments and systems leading to inefficiency, disruption and cost implications. Imagine if:
  • All your formal supplier interactions could be managed through a single platform into the multiple systems across your business.
  • Supplier on-boarding could be standardised reducing timescales and increasing accuracy.
  • Compliance auditing could be automated and by using self-service workflows, internal resources could be focussed on value add activities and not chasing information.
OpenText Active Community was designed and built for retailers to manage supplier communities and is used by some the world’s largest retailers to reduce the cost of managing supplier information.

OpenText, in partnership with the High Commission of Canada, would like to invite you to join us for breakfast where we will be sharing the experience of implementing an Active Community program.
