ecVision
announced today that its upcoming product release of XpressCommerce
version 8.9.1 will contain enhancements to the system’s supplier/retailer
collaboration tool for discussions.
|
|
Software
solutions offering true collaboration must take into
account the entire retail model, from design to pricing
to compliance to shipping to tracking, and beyond.
This level of collaboration is comprised of a vast
network of trading partners who in turn collaborate
with each other, delivering a system that allows everyone,
but most importantly the retailer, to foster healthier
relationships as they conduct business.
|
|
“Retailer/supplier
relationships are critical to managing supply chain
risk,” said Thomas Ng, CEO of ecVision. “The
collaboration tools in XpressCommerce help facilitate
an environment where all parties can openly communicate
about cost, product, and service issues. The key to
calming the rocky relationships between each group,
with their own interests to protect, is technology.”

ecVision
XpressCommerce® is a web-based solution that delivers
the key functions of product lifecycle management (PLM)
and supply chain execution (SCE) systems. The Framework
is the foundation for the XpressCommerce system and
is comprised of a suite of sophisticated components,
including the Discussion Tool that enables better supplier/retailer
relationships. The Discussion Tool is a centralized
repository for collaborative discussions within XpressCommerce.
The results are multi-fold;
|
|
|
exchanges are
not in an individual’s email system where they
can’t be easily shared, |
|
|
discussions are attached to
specific issue or business document they are related
to, |
|
|
content is searchable making
information more accessible, |
|
|
discussions can be posted
to the system, external email or both in real-time, |
|
|
alerts are generated to notify
recipients of new postings, and |
|
|
discussions can be grouped
and sorted by topic based on the user’s settings
for greater usability. |
|
| Coupled
with dynamic reporting and visibility features, private
label retailers and brand manufacturers can communicate
effectively with their trading partner network across
the globe. The results make it possible for retail organizations
to optimize their product lifecycle management and supply
chain execution capabilities. |

The

about “visibility” during product design,
development and manufacturing as the key to driving continuous
improvement and performance management. The content addresses
the technology that is available to retailers to achieve
the “vision” that leads to higher margins,
increased performance, faster reaction to market trends,
and speedy time to market. |
|
“We
realize that our prospects and customer community need
more flexibility
when it comes to managing their busy schedules,” said
Gary Barraco, Marketing Manager at ecVision. “This
method of delivering succinct, enlightening seminars via
the Web allows users with the ability to easily register
for the session and receive the link to the audio and video
recording – choosing to view it when they want.” |
