Activant Trading Partner Connect Helps an Industrial Equipment Wholesaler Streamline Vendor Transactions

In today's ever-evolving marketplace, two things can define the way companies do business: speed and convenience. As more and more businesses adopt technological solutions that facilitate quicker and easier transactions, you need an innovative angle to stay ahead of the curve.

To stay ahead of this curve, Rachael Mayer, system administrator at JMC Sales & Engineering, Inc., an industrial equipment and supplies wholesaler based in Indianapolis, joined Activant Trading Partner Connect.

Trading Partner Connect, an Internet trading network for distributors, streamlines the purchasing process between manufacturers/suppliers and distributors.

A New Link in the Chain

By providing a secure environment for electronic data exchange, Trading Partner Connect adds a new link to the supply chain - one that can help you increase sales and improve customer service, while reducing operating costs.

More and more, manufacturers/suppliers are requiring their distributors to conduct business electronically or face penalties. With Trading Partner Connect, you connect directly to your manufacturers' business systems, enabling you to view current product and availability information at any time.

This connectivity not only improves your relationships with manufacturers, but also reduces lead-time and the need to carry excess inventory.

Reaping the Benefits

The importance of a real-time, easily accessible pipeline into a manufacturer's inventory is not lost on Mayer.

"Trading Partner Connect has helped our company improve efficiencies," she says. "We don't have to deal with faxes anymore, since all orders are sent automatically through the network, and our inside sales people are now free to enter more orders."
