Supply Chain Management System

The old supply chain management system models—supply chain planning (SCP) and supply chain execution (SCE)—are increasingly shown to be ill-equipped to support today's global marketplace. By providing robust global supply chain management (SCM) solutions, GXS's industry-leading On-Demand Supply Chain Management System comes to the forefront.

GXS's management services, through our On-Demand Supply Chain Management (SCM) solutions, offer you and your trading partners the web-based technology, data translation, data quality management, and application suites you need to streamline your B2B communications and processes throughout your supply chain.

This is the one supply chain management solution perfectly suited for effective global supply chain management. Supplying real-time integration of all supply chain partners—regardless of variances in technical competency, language, or geographical location—the On-Demand Supply Chain Management system from GXS is a comprehensive system that allows for the organizational agility necessary to compete in today's current business climate. Imagine the ability to seamlessly share demand signals throughout your supply chain, to address all your customers' needs while reducing or even eliminating unsalable inventory.

GXS Trading Grid® Supply Chain Management System

Current supply chain management system models leave your overall supply chain performance at the mercy of the weakest link in the chain. The power of your network depends upon every involved constituent. If you're unable to manage your system in real-time and to share demand signals across the chain, you're at a distinct disadvantage. Often, brand loyalty is directly correlated with brand availability. If your product isn't there, a competitor's will be.

The GXS Trading Grid supply chain management system and Community Link enablement services provide maximum flexibility, allowing you to consistently put your product in your partners' hands, exactly when they need it. Our extensive global network of partners provides world-class B2B solutions, and ensures that you'll never find your supply chain performance determined by the weakest link.

Comprehensive B2B e-Commerce

The GXS On-Demand Supply Chain Management System offers solutions for both your needs as well as the needs of all your supply chain partners:

• Transact – We can deliver electronic documents, including purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices, sales forecasts, and inventory positions, from you to your trading partners regardless of their size, location, or e-commerce ability.
• Monitor – GXS Intelligence Services allow you to monitor your entire global supply chain management system for critical events such as shipping or manufacturing delays, and allow you to transmit signals across your network, communicating sudden sales increases or in-store inventory shortages.
• Synchronize – Trading Grid data validation services can ensure your order-specific data is free of inaccuracies, and data synchronization allows trading partners to coordinate reference data, significantly reducing errors.
• Collaborate – The most successful businesses, which enjoy the highest level of supply chain performance, maintain a continuous electronic collaboration with trading partners, and as such achieve the optimal balance of supply and demand.
