BXBuyerConnect

The relationship between Buyers and Suppliers is continually evolving. As buyers adopt new technologies to streamline the cash flow process, Suppliers are mandated by to conform to standards passed down from internal standards committees, third-party e-commerce portals or external organizations, to be enforced in business transactions between the two entities. Invoices, Purchase Orders, Field Tickets and many other documents must be processed in a format that each back office system can easily process so as to maintain cash flow.

 

For Buyers, receiving paper invoices is inefficient due to the labor associated with checking and validating the contents and pricing, driving their need to contract out to third-party portals for hosting their commerce interactions Suppliers.  This just pushes the problem further out.  Buyers risk delayed production and revenues while putting pressure on Suppliers to adhere to more efficient transaction standards.  Buyers see up to a 60% reduction in invoice errors and rejections when their supply chain trades with them electronically.

 

 

Pervasive BXBuyerConnect is a managed web-based data exchange service that enables Buyers to send and receive business information electronically in a seamless, timely and secure manner regardless of the enterprise system.  Information is taken from one company, translated into their trading partner's format, and delivered precisely where it's needed.
