e-Ventus and eSP have helped us reduce costs and increase efficiency throughout our supply chain
Supplies have real-time access, see planned orders, notify shipments, and send messages through the Internet. eSP was also integrated with our Glovia ERP system and implemented in under three months.
We recognized the need for a web-based portal solution to increase the visibility of our supply chain
We needed a supplier portal solution that dealt with frequent changes, different languages, and time zones in an efficient manner. It needed to effectively handle requirements from both replenishment and discrete manufacturing systems. We evaluated several solutions and selected e-Ventus’ eSP supplier portal, as it best met our requirements.
