Inovis Social Network

For a vendor compliance manager at a retailer, keeping up with the contact names across thousands of suppliers is an uphill battle.

Not only is there the normal job turnover for fulfillment managers and accounts payable managers at suppliers (20-30% each year is common), but partner contact data is typically buried in one person's Outlook folder, out of reach from teammates.

Keeping trading partners up-to-date

The Inovis Social Network solves these problems by providing a private social network web site for trading partners to update and access contact information and company profiles.

Now, when a supply chain manager finds an error or problem in a purchase order or shipment, they can go online and quickly identify the right person at the supplier, third-party logistics provider (3PL) or contract manufacturer who can help resolve the issue before it causes delays in the supply chain.

And just like other social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn), this service is a hosted web site that users can log into to access a secure view of their colleagues, ensuring their latest data is available to their business community.

Features:

• Easy web access, delivered as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) or as packaged software.
• Safe content, with secure access and configurable role-based views, so users only see their relevant data.
• Custom fields, to align with how your business runs, including types of supported documents and business processes.
