A powerful new edition of the InfoChain Express supply chain solution that enables retailers and brand owners to direct global supply chain activities from a single point of access is now available from Avery Dennison – a pressure-sensitive technology leader.
The upgraded system, Avery Dennison InfoChain Express 3.3, will be of particular interest to retailers and brand owners who value supply chain visibility and seamless collaboration among trading partners.
The upgrade builds on InfoChain Express' core capabilities, which allow for the tracking of purchase orders, the prompting of ticket production and the issuance of advance ship notices to meet C-TPAT 24-hour manifest requirements, by providing an enhanced means to view and manage activities throughout the global supply chain.
For example, users of InfoChain Express 3.3 can now oversee vendor compliance, trigger automated payments and direct cut-and-sew operations at factories worldwide. The system's ability to serve as a platform for purchase order collaboration among retailers and brand owners and their suppliers is a major enhancement.
“InfoChain Express 3.3's visibility lets all parties to a transaction concurrently know the status of each process and empowers them to react as necessary for their part of a transaction,” explains Lynde Richards, Avery Dennison InfoChain Express' marketing director.
“Whether the party is a vendor, a factory, a service bureau printing tickets, a financial settlement company, a distribution center or a consolidator that does the actual shipment - each party can have customized views of processes taking place in the supply chain and initiate necessary actions.”
