Electronic Commerce from Southwire
Electronic commerce allows you to manage all facets of your business online – from ordering and invoicing to inventory management and bar coding. Here are several ways e-commerce can help you lower costs:
Shorter Cycle Time: Orders are processed immediately, therefore reducing the time lapse from ordering to processing.
Reduced Inventory Levels: The simple logic of electronic commerce systems allows for better planning and that reduces your inventory levels.
Decreased Clerical Errors: Clerical errors and associated costs are greatly reduced because the data moving between companies is limited to a one-time entry.
More Flexibility: Electronic commerce systems allow versatility in almost all business processes: invoicing, payment advice, request for quote, response to RFQ, product activity/tracking data, advance ship notice, purchase order acknowledgement, and much more.
Less Paper Work: Hard copies of business documents can be eliminated once you’ve transferred to an electronic ordering system. With electronic commerce, business transactions and documents are easily accessible online.
Increased Productivity: Employees can now spend more time on other job responsibilities as ordering and inventory management has been simplified.
Qualify for Free Shipping: Meet minimums and qualify for free shipping with consolidated orders.
