With global sourcing and extended supply chains, it’s likely there are several points of margin hiding in your buying, supply chain and finance functions. B2B technology could release those profits for you, but how?

Many organisations’ experience of B2B has been limited to EDI, and perhaps a dalliance with a supply chain portal. Strategies for B2B use in the supply chain are rare, with technologies often identified separately, acquired from different vendors and operated in isolation. Traditional thinking hasn’t been about a holistic solution where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

However, some forward-thinking organisations are leveraging supply chain solutions with all three of the B2B capabilities essential to manage:

•  Transactions between trading partners

•  Information sharing with all appropriate parties

•  Processes across corporate and geographic boundaries

Atlas is a complete B2B solution provider with the retail supply chain expertise to employ all of these essential capabilities in strategic solutions that deliver operational cost savings, productivity improvements, higher revenues and improved margins.

Our customers have gained competitive edge by harnessing these three competencies in their supply chain operations. They manage transactions such as orders, invoices, shipping notes and goods received notes. They synchronise supplier, product, price and promotions information. They automate business processes such as invoice validation, approval and problem resolution.

All are using the Atlas Universal B2B platform to uncover millions of pounds in additional annual margins.
