TradeBeyond helps B&H streamline order-to-payment process

TradeBeyond Total Sourcing Management Platform implemented as a fully integrated solution that delivers a complete sourcing, order, quote and PLM system

The Challenge

B&H are no strangers to leveraging technology as a competitive advantage and to using a Web Trading Partner Collaboration to exchange information with their suppliers. The retailer relies on a mix of different size international and domestic suppliers who use a range of shipment methods. B&H approached TradeBeyond after experiencing ongoing errors with matching supplier invoices to purchase orders as opposed to using an Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN). The previous EDI solutions provider was not able to resolve these issues and the accounts payable teams were frustrated with managing multiple versions of purchase orders and other documents in order to do invoice settlement. Accounts payable at B&H were looking for a way to tighten and automate their system, allowing people to work on more strategic tasks.

The Solution

TradeBeyond allows vendors to issue accurate invoices no matter the type of shipment method. The system automatically relates advance shipping notices (ASN) to shipments, purchase orders and invoices.
