As manufacturers and retailers extend their supply chains to give more responsibility to their suppliers and logistics providers, the need for collaboration among these trading partners becomes crucial. Nippon Express USA provides the technology platform to allow all parties to collaborate in a synchronized network to reduce errors, cut costs and speed up time-to-market.

Nippon Express USA trading partner management (TPM) capability allows you to manage the entire lifecycle of supplier purchase orders (POs)—from placing and updating a PO to checking order status. Electronic integration of POs means that your suppliers are always working with the most current documentation, dramatically reducing the potential for error. Advanced shipping notices (ASNs) can also be generated and sent electronically to provide accurate information about the content of inbound shipments—so you can prevent costly delays at the receiving dock and completely bypass steps in your supply chain. Trading partners can also use this solution to print compliant bar code labels and shipping documentation via the Internet.

Nippon Express USA (TPM) capabilities allow you to:

• Extend supply chain execution capabilities to your manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers
• Synchronize business processes with suppliers to reduce administrative errors, boosts inventory turns and improves compliance
• Tighten integration across your supply chain to speed up time-to-market while reducing labor, distribution and transportation costs
