TradeBeam Launches Updated i-Supply Solution for Enhanced Inventory Management
SCOR metrics offer greater intelligence for supplier ratings, inventory replenishment and logistics
SAN MATEO, Calif. – February 10, 2009 – TradeBeam, the leader in SaaS-based global trade management solutions (GTM), today launched version 7.4 of i-Supply, its collaborative inventory management product. Using standardized metrics from the Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR) and new order lead time measurements, i-Supply now allows businesses to more accurately rate their suppliers and respond quicker than before to customer demand.
With SCOR metrics integrated, i-Supply 7.4 offers improved visibility into inventory levels, forecasts and usage data between suppliers and buyers. Using i-Supply 7.4, customers are able to further assess their supply chain while easily and accurately rating suppliers – without going through comprehensive processes. Businesses can also operate as usual while the information for the metrics is collected.
TradeBeam’s i-Supply 7.4 also includes an order lead time measurement feature and a new Pipeline alert which notify the user when items need to be reordered. Businesses can leverage the software for order fulfillment cycle time and provide improved evaluation of supplier performance. As well, the enhanced Kanban Shipment Control feature provides additional flexibility to users in managing their Kanban cycle to reflect customer demand, which more closely reflects common user processes.
“With this rollout of i-Supply 7.4 we wanted to give our customers the strategic edge needed in today’s global economy,” said Graham R. F. Napier, CEO of TradeBeam. “Our updated i-Supply solution enables businesses to manage their suppliers more easily, and stay competitive by more closely monitoring their inventory management processes. We are pleased to provide a collaborative world-class product.”
The updated TradeBeam i-Supply is available for purchase immediately. i-Supply is accessible and operational in 41 countries and 11 languages including Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional), English, French, German, Korean, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish.
