Improve Your Ability to Share POS and Supply-Chain Data with Your Suppliers

Retailers have attempted to improve collaboration with suppliers by providing them with POS and supply-chain data through portals, EDI transactions, and reports from their buying offices. These approaches however have proven to be costly, resource intensive, and prone to data integrity issues. Each involves systems development, data transportation fees, and manual intervention to field questions from suppliers. And, since each retailer uses a unique process, suppliers spend more time trying to collect and manage the data than they do analyzing it and identifying opportunities for increasing sales, optimizing inventory and reducing costs.



The Edifice service allows you to overcome these challenges and begin effectively collaborating with your suppliers on a single source of consumer demand and supply chain data. We first work with you to define the data set that is needed for collaboration. Then, we help you set up the data feed. From that point forward we manage the entire reporting process, distributing cleansed data to our web portal where you and your suppliers can access it through dashboards, Excel reports, and an ad-hoc report builder.

Our service is free to you and affordable for all your suppliers – small and large. And, it requires no investment in hardware, software or systems. Using Edifice, you can reduce costs by retiring legacy reporting processes, gain back valuable time by offloading supplier inquiry, and improve inventory performance by collaborating with much more informed suppliers on a robust set of information.
