Tradecloud Business Case Elements
Direct Savings
-
Up to 50% savings on manual work (e.g. order entry, chasing exceptions, expediting, etc.)
Indirect Savings
- Up to 27% higher supplier reliability (e.g. goods on time)
- Up to 25% fewer errors (e.g. wrong revisions made, wrong items delivered)
- More speed (e.g. 5-10 days shorter throughput times)
-
Better communication (real time communication resulting in better collaboration)
Besides just cost savings, there is no doubt that the pandemic has magnified and accelerated the need for supply chains that are both resilient and agile. With market conditions changing fast, being prepared matters more than ever. Companies are using Tradecloud to achieve transparency, real time visibility, rapid decision-making and flexibility of response. These new rules for resilient supply chains will affect the entire process, from product innovation, manufacturing and planning, to logistic operations and after sales service.

“We now have insight into the entire purchase order flow within the platform.”

“We focus on the manufacturing industry and Tradecloud fits in perfectly with that as a tailor-made B2B Platform and eCommerce solution.”

“We needed a platform where our suppliers had better insight into our orders. Thanks to Tradecloud, our order administration is now automated and we respond faster.”
Costs Savings and Increased Efficiency
The main cost saving is the elimination of manual work. Through improved communication, suppliers gain a better understanding of their customers’ business in order to better serve needs. When challenges or problems arise, systems and controls in Tradecloud enable both parties to identify and address them. Suppliers anticipate and adapt to needs more quickly, eliminating redundancy and streamlining processes.
Revenue Growth
Through greater operational efficiencies derived from Tradecloud, both the supplier and the buyer can increase revenue growth at better margins.
Risk Management
Real time access allows for faster intervention in situations that may pose risks. Such as an incorrect or late delivery.
Strategic Collaboration
Constantly changing suppliers is expensive and time-consuming as it requires internal resources to identify suppliers and conclude contracts. Even if a new supplier promises lower costs, the long-term relationships with strategic partners generate more value relative to potential short-term gains.
