B2BE provide a range of supply chain solutions all geared toward reducing time and effort and therefore cost through a range of e-Commerce based initiatives. However, at B2BE we understand that some of your trading partners are not going to be able to adopt e-Commerce initiatives so we provide document print and post solutions.

The B2BE print and post solution is ideal in the situation where your organisation wants to outsource the distribution of documents cost effectively while still maintaining traditional methodologies, in part due to your trading partners.

The B2BE print and post solution also enables your organisation to simply outsource your mail needs and combine these with e-Commerce based  initiatives to help bring down the number of articles you post each month and therefor the cost. For example, customer Invoices. This is an efficient way to meet trading partner requirements as documents can be sent electronically via EDI, facsimile or emailed and the remaining documents sent can be sent via print and post.

Weather you want to simply outsource your mailroom or combine mail with more cost effective document distribution methodologies B2BE have you covered!

Contact your local B2BE office to discuss how we can manage your print and post requirements to help your realise cost savings through efficiency gains!

Many business when they start trading electronically are focused on one side of their supply chain, whether its the buy side or sell side. This is for a number of reasons which maybe as simple as responding to customer demands, utilisation of resources or process improvement initiatives. However, many organisations then simply stop and fail to understand the value of trading on both sides of the supply chain.

This creates a disparity between process and eficiency gains. Why respond to a customer's requirements in the most efficient way when you can't get stock from a supplier efficiently? Or why buy stock efficiently when you can't service customers effectively?

If you're trading electronically on only one side of your supply chain why not speak to B2BE to see how we can help your organisation improve processes on both sides of the supply chain through our solutions geared toward Purchase to Pay or Cash to Collection?

B2BE recently presented their solutions at EXPP on the 10th and 11th of September at the Millenium Conference Centre in London which was a great success.

The EXPP conference was geared toward solutions in and around e-Invoicing and the Purchase to Pay (P2P) processes, an area B2BE is heavily involved in. There was a broad range of delegates and speakers who attended from many of the European countries as well as many other countries.

A broad range of topics were discussed and it gave delegates an opportunity to share and exchange ideas around e-Invoicing and Purchase to Pay experiences. B2BE could obviously provide a wealth of knowledge in these areas which many of the delegates benefited from.

We also ran a highly successful 'Beat the Geek' competition on the stand with delegates invited to pit their driving abilities against our resident 'Geek'. There were many contenders but Beatrice Orgeval from Lexmark in Switzerland took line honors and as competition winner she walked away with a fantastic Wii so she can hone her skills for next year!

We would like to thank all the entrants in the competition and hope to see you at EXPP to be held in Germany next year.

B2BE sponsored the recent Forrester IT Forum EMEA 2007 in Edinburgh 'Delivering Business Results through IT'

The event focused on delivering IT excellence and the new ways in which CIO's, CTO's and technical resources are able to do this within the context of their organisations and markets they operate within. The focus of the event also moved the function of IT into a BT (Business Technology) function. That is an evolution away from IT maintaining a stand alone approach to an organisation's systems to focusing on the business, their strategies and how technical functions can deliver business specific solutions and needs!

The event was particularly pertinent to B2BE and the delivery of its suit of outsource solutions and products which provide businesses with outsourcing tools to remove the mundane tasks such as Invoicing, Purchase-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash processes enabling both the business and technical functions to focus on the new challenges from their local and/or emerging markets which many organisations are facing in a highly globalised and competitive environment!

We would also like to congratulate Andreas Reiter from Oesterreichische Post AG who was the winner of the on-stand promotion and took home with him a 30Gb video capable iPOD.
