Big and slow solutionAs vendors differ in size, offering and collaboration model, to avoid unnecessary complexity, we keep what suits exactly for your business. Moreover, we can introduce various vendor account options, e.g. you can provide limited functionality for your minor vendors or integrate with the internal systems of your key suppliers. |

Buyer-vendor communication failureAs any communication gap may cause massive loses (imagine a delivery delay notification being lost), we ensure that you’re kept up-to-date and nothing is left unnoticed with automated alerts, notification and live charts. |
