“The Warehouse Ltd. has improved
Order accuracy through the
elimination of keying errors. The
Web Portal has reduced costs
creating and processing Invoices,
both for TWL and for our
suppliers.

”If our clients can produce a file
in any format and get it to B2BE
they’ll build the translation maps
and transfer it to our format. That
works in reverse with our
invoicing. Some ERP system
autofax so we get them to
produce a file which is sent by
email to B2BE who convert it for
us

“The uptake from suppliers has
been extremely positive with
less than one percent not
wanting to progress this. Under
the old model 99 percent of all
orders were confirmed by faxing.
Long-term, the portal will
remove this tedious step which
increases the work efficiency of
the purchasing team.”

“ B2BE really offered a service that was a world
leader. It helped to drive down the costs per
transaction, from several dollars down to 40 cents
or less, and on top of that, adding value in terms of
allowing organisations to easily connect with us

“At one time we faxed thousands of Purchase
Orders a day, and just cutting back on all that paper has been an immediate benefit. Somebody had to pick up all those faxes, and they got lost or the data wasn’t entered correctly.

“The fact that we can give the problem as whole to
B2BE and then leave them to sort it out for
themselves has been very helpful to us. A single
PO might be going between several servers in
Australia and New Zealand, but I don’t want to
know about that. I just want to know that the order
has been fulfilled and B2BE takes care of that.”
