Why ChanneLinx is the Right Solution

High inventory levels are now considered evidence of an inefficient supply chain. To regain efficiencies, companies are recognizing that they must establish collaborative connections throughout the entire supply chain, from the retail point-of-sale to suppliers, to most effectively manage inventory levels.

ChanneLinx technology provides intelligent Internet connections that enable trading partners to share information dynamically and achieve positive results. From multiple suppliers and internal supply chains, to multi-divisional corporations and the many small-to-medium enterprise suppliers that make up to 75% of manufacturing sites, our economical solutions can be incorporated in a step-by-step fashion, or enterprise-wide. Our experienced, professional services staff ensures an efficient implementation process, often measured in days and weeks, not months and years.

ChanneLinx offers the following business solutions:

eLinx PRIVATE PROCUREMENT MARKETPLACE DEVELOPMENT

A private procurement marketplace allows companies to develop intelligent and customized Internet connections that facilitate collaboration and commerce among key customers and trusted suppliers. Unlike public eMarkets, a private marketplace permits access to a greater degree of information, offering increased decision support and more value-added services.

eLinx SELLING SOLUTION

Develop an electronic store and customer service center that are accessible to your customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Products and services can be presented in an easy-to-search electronic catalog, and order and account status information offered in a secure, tightly integrated manner. Suppliers can maintain their own product catalogs and remain in control of their business process rules while leveraging existing e-commerce markets. In addition, the eLinx Selling Solution can connect to public eMarkets powered by Commerce One and Ariba.

WEBDI DATA EXCHANGE

WebDI is a web-based data exchange service that enables companies to send and receive business information electronically in a seamless, timely and secure manner - regardless of their enterprise system. WebDI takes information from one company, translates it to the second company's desired format, and delivers that information right where it's needed.

WebDI's unique technology bridges the gap between businesses that have existing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) infrastructure and those that cannot afford the technology or lack the expertise required to implement and manage traditional EDI processes.

WebDI offers the flexibility to integrate data directly into a company's enterprise system or to send and receive data via user-friendly eForms (java-based electronic forms) accessed from a WebDI electronic mailbox. The special WebDI eForms solution allows even the smallest companies to exchange documents electronically.
