Provide Suppliers with No-Cost, Web-based Solution for Generating ASNs, UCC Labels and More
Companies today would benefit greatly if all of their suppliers had the capability to produce advanced shipping notices (ASNs) and other supporting documentation that streamline the receiving process and increase throughput in the warehouse. But many suppliers cannot afford the EDI infrastructure that enables ASNs.
With CatalystConnect™ Supplier Link, you can give your suppliers the benefit of EDI without the cost. Supplier Link is a Web-based multi-language capable application that enables even the smallest overseas supplier to create an ASN on the Web.
Supplier Link provides your supplier with an on-line Web-accessed hub that connects to real-time order shipment information and enables generation of ASNs, UCC labels and necessary packing slips. This on-line interface dramatically streamlines the warehouse receiving process and reduces labor costs.
With Supplier Link, the entire receiving process immediately becomes more efficient. Cartons can be received using both RF-enabled and conveyor scanning devices without creating bottlenecks that occur during the receiving process.
The system proactively notifies the supplier of product shipment requirements and sends an ASN to the relevant warehouse management system when the supplier indicates a product is ready for pick-up or has been shipped. The system can also be used to create mixed-SKU cartons, associate multiple POs to outbound shipment, create a simple Bill of Lading, and create and print standard shipping documents, such as pick and pack lists.
Additionally, Supplier Link provides your supply chain staff with an interface that enables them to check the real-time status of supplier event history of preparing orders for shipment, receive automatic notification of exceptions, and support overage and shortage control at supplier and item level.
