The “Impossible Dream” of supply
chain management is to be able to offer the right product at the
right price at the right place for the right price to the
client. Since clients have no obligation to present forecasts to
an organization, it means organizations need to create ways to
see and sense, in real-time, product consumption, as well they
must evolve their product offerings, to continue to meet the
needs of an ever more sophisticated and demanding clients. The
supply chain is ultimately a partnership between retailers and
their suppliers, both win if they have the right selections,
price points and freshness on the shelf. Some forward thinking
organizations are using technology to zero in on attaining this
dream.

solution to address “The Impossible Dream” of supply chain
management. TradeLink’s document broker and integration
capabilities help organizations efficiently manage their global
trading partner communities, resulting in improved customer

Improved Customer Service
by providing internal and external business partners with
“status” information on business information flows inside
and outside an organization.

Improved business
responsiveness through greater visibility and
adaptability to changing business requirements. New business
partners, platforms, document formats, technologies and
business processes can be added quickly and efficiently

-
Improved reaction time to
supply chain issues. As 80% of a businesses document
information flow now relies on electronic transfer of
information, any loss of information flow is unacceptable
for clients, suppliers, or trading partners (both internal
and external). To maximize ROI, proactive and intelligent
surveillance of business document transfer is critical.
Receiving an alert at the end of a day is not longer
acceptable as receiving information when problems occur
along with how to solve the problem is required. Notified of
a problem, a user can rapidly identify the root cause and
correct it by operations such as: correcting incorrect
information, retrying the transfer, canceling the transfer,
executing an alert to the appropriate person(s) – by e-mail
for example – of the risk of client-impact from a problem in
the supply chain.
-
Compliance to regulatory
requirements. For reporting companies, regulatory
requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA are a fact of
life. TradeLink’s sophisticated audit and document
management features allows an organization to comply with
regulatory requirements in one central solution.

management, automation, format transformation, information
routing and business process management with the purpose of

Customer Case Study
Listo Corporation is a
plastic injection molding company that has been
producing quality plastic parts since 1946.
In 2005, Listo had an
existing EDI solution was manually intensive, prone
to error and lacked a complete and comprehensive
audit. In addition, the process to add new trading
partners was not timely, expensive and was not
documented as a single outside consultant controlled
the entire process to add new trading partners. This
led them to look for alternative solutions that
could provide the necessary changes while
maintaining proper documentation and was
maintainable in-house. This led them to SoftCare.
Listo chose SoftCare and
its TradeLink EDI Management System because they
liked their approach to combining software,
consulting and services to provide an
all-encompassing solution to implementing EDI for
them. Additionally, they were impressed by
SoftCare’s focus on EDI, the business processes to
support EDI and their open standards based approach
to integration to their SYSPRO ERP.
