Active Orders

Active Orders is a SaaS application that provides supply chain visibility into the complete Procure-to-Pay Process for buyers and suppliers.

Improve supply chain performance through faster identification of order-related problems and ongoing monitoring of key performance indicators (KPIs). Using an exception-based structure, GXS Active℠ Orders highlights potential supply chain issues before they impact your bottom line.

Active Orders addresses typical supply chain questions such as: “Was my order accepted?”, “Which version of the order are you shipping against?”, “Will the order ship on time?” and “What is the status of my invoice?”

Real-Time Visibility for a Real-Time Supply Chain

Active Orders makes it easy to manage relationships with trading partners, exchange documents, and identify potential inefficiencies. Features include:

  • EDI Document Exchange—Send EDI/XML documents to all of your suppliers and give suppliers the option to respond via EDI /XML or web portal.
  • Order Tracking—Search for a specific purchase order(PO) and view all of its associated documents, such as acknowledgements, PO changes, advanced shipment notices and invoices.
  • Supply Chain Alerts—Configure email alerts to advise of potential issues such as an unacknowledged order, delayed shipment or past due invoice.
  • Supplier Performance Management—Use B2B Scorecards to measure supplier performance on metrics such as order-fill-rates, delivery punctuality and invoice accuracy.
