Suppliers

Today suppliers are under just as much pressure as retailers, if not more.

With retailers increasing the amount of merchandise they are sourcing internationally, and consumers demanding the latest products at the lowest prices, the competition for suppliers is tough.

Juggling a variety of goods for a vast number of retailers, suppliers must ensure that the merchandise they produce meets stringent quality standards and the information they provide to retailers and freight-forwarders is accurate, on-time and compliant with purchase orders. If not, they may be penalized with costly charge-backs.

If they are to thrive, suppliers need to find more efficient ways of managing customer relationships and maintaining levels of excellence in factories, while reaching new customers with innovative products.

To add to the challenge for Suppliers, they are of necessity working with multiple retailers and factories, across locations and time zones, and myriad technologies. Often the only way to operate is via e-mail and manually maintaining information held in numerous spreadsheets, not the most effective approach.

TradeStone's Supplier Services removes these issues by providing an intuitive Web-based solution that facilitates more effective supplier/retailer relationships, helping to streamline critical business activities, improve communication, minimize delays and reduce costs.
