Newport Beach, Calif.-based theSupplyChain.com, a Web-based, supply chain-focused enterprise resources planning (ERP II) solutions provider for the mid-market, announces scCommunity Server, said to help supply chain architects and information technology professionals augment existing product offerings into their supplier network. scCommunity Server offers access to system architecture and the application database.
All products from theSupplyChain.com include an Internet commerce environment, or private marketplace, so system owners can better manage the interdependency of production and consumption information with order and fulfillment priorities. Other functionalities include reverse auctioning, purchase orders, requisitioning, invoicing, fulfillment/ logistics, inventory management, receiving, demand planning, material requirements planning, and advanced planning & scheduling.
Specific opportunities within the scCommunity server include:
-
Embedded enterprise solution or Web service: technology providers may embed additional functionality into existing product offerings—such as demand forecasting and inventory management services—including a complete enterprise application.
-
Alternative to supplier-enablement electronic data interchange programs: large companies wanting to move beyond automating purchase orders and invoices may sponsor multiple instances of an enterprise system into extended supplier networks, providing visibility into the smallest of trading partners.
-
Means of uniting disparate business systems: companies with multiple divisions or subsidiaries may utilize scCommunity Server to establish integration points between existing business systems and new ERP II instances from scCommunity Server.
