Supplier Management Using Supplier Portal

Prospects tell me that suppliers will not use a portal to upload, edit, manage their product catalogs. Often, after the supplier portal is deployed, results are surprising. Suppliers, when offered a fast simple way to exchange product data, jump on board.

Sure, utilization is not 100%. And just 80% or even 50% pays dividends. New products speed to web and to print. Product edits are outsourced back to the supplier. Data is transformed into clean usable information. And then enriched to persuasive product information.

A simple supplier portal. Easy to use, a simple interface, and supplier support, makes this project work.
