The PO Tracing feature has been enhanced to support the nominated supplier workflow, empowering direct suppliers (Tier 1) to extend PO tracing requests directly to their nominated suppliers. By enabling Tier 1 suppliers to cascade PO tracing requests to nominated suppliers with the relevant purchase orders, brands now gain a consolidated and comprehensive view of all purchase orders in a single, integrated location.

 

Key Benefits for Brands:

  • Unified PO View Across Supply Chain Tiers: Brands can now access a consolidated view of all purchase orders, including those involving nominated suppliers, within one integrated interface. This enhanced visibility improves traceability across the entire supply chain.
  • Extended Traceability to Nominated Suppliers: By allowing PO tracing requests to cascade to nominated suppliers, brands achieve a deeper level of transparency and data accuracy across sourcing layers, aligning with compliance and sustainability goals.
  • Streamlined Supply Chain Mapping: With nominated suppliers participating in PO tracing, brands experience smoother supply chain mapping processes, eliminating gaps in data collection and providing a clearer picture of supplier relationships and purchase order flows.

 

Key Benefits for Suppliers:

  • Simplified Cascading of PO Tracing Requests: Direct suppliers (Tier 1) can now seamlessly extend PO tracing requests to their nominated suppliers using a streamlined workflow. This eliminates manual steps and reduces the chance of errors.
  • Enhanced Data Accuracy and Reduced Effort: Automatically populated PO links allow direct suppliers (Tier 1) to focus on confirming essential details without redundant data entry, improving accuracy and efficiency.

 

This update empowers brands and suppliers to achieve greater supply chain visibility, efficiency, and transparency.
