Wesupply, a leading provider of on demand and collaborative supply chain management solutions announces the continuing success of its electronic trading enablement programme.

In less than 9 months Wesupply has signed up nearly 100 clients in its electronic enablement roll-out programme. This means that major manufacturers and suppliers up and down the country and from across all industry sectors are enjoying the benefits of greater collaboration with their trading partners.

Companies like Vencil Resil, Caradon, American Standard, BBT, Thermotechnology, Wavin Plastics, Mueller Europe, Glen Dimplex, Belle Group, Triton have joined a community of other companies to streamline partnerships and share knowledge.

With the help of Wesupply Collaborative Supply Chain solutions these companies now have the ability to collaborate across platforms, partnerships, channels, divisions - suddenly they have become more agile, more responsive and more profitable.

Sooner or later it is inevitable that most organisations are going to have to trade electronically with their customers / trading partners in some way. Sharing knowledge and processes, dismantling barriers, giving full visibility to the trading network of customers and suppliers, these and other collaborative behaviours are the hallmarks of today's most successful companies. With Wesupply, supply chain ambiguity is removed and everyone has one common, real-time and unambiguous view of the supply chain.

Integrating multiple suppliers, customers and partners into a unified real-time supply chain offers tantalising benefits and for many that vision is being realised. Having real-time information on raw materials, finished goods, shipments and logistics means that companies can plan their operations more effectively and more confidently. It is in this area that Wesupply operates bringing together whole communities in one simple, orchestrated vision to deliver the perfect order.

Wesupply has a simple view on things, start small, think big. From electronic trading with key transactions through to a collaborative ‘Hub' Wesupply offers a scalable solution building whole trading communities, consolidating partnerships in a cross flow of information sharing that knowledge and information for a better future and achieving closeness and transparency they need with trading partners.

As a hosted service the Wesupply solution provides clients with a no frills electronic trading platform that can be deployed between 20 and 90 days depending on the level of sophistication and requires: no software, hardware, database, integration tools, major internal project team or maintenance.

In a world that is constantly demanding better communication to improve the level of perfect orders, while optimising working capital and reducing supply costs, the Wesupply solution can provide a foundation to achieve this by rapidly enabling an electronic trading network easily and at low cost.

Wesupply solutions are scalable, designed for a measured maturity allowing businesses and organisations to develop their own capability at their own pace. So from a simple form of electronic enablement such as OneTime where customer's mandates are met by only connecting once to Wesupply using a preferred communication format to a fully collaborative supply chain solution - all these have been developed to ensure that supply chain partners can benefit from electronic trading without incurring major up front or on-going costs.
