B-Op Connectors

ZUGSEIL's collaborative supply chain network delivers a couple of valuable options to upstream (suppliers) and downstream partners (customers):

• bidirectional supply chain base data exchange - Digital base data exchange and collaboration
• bidirectional category management - category management tools allow each organization to live with their categories whilst still being interoperable
• downstream catalog transmission - Sharing catalogs downstream is essential for any action in the trade sphere
• downstream availability information - automated information of upstream parties (suppliers) to downstream parties (customers) on current and future availability of goods
• upstream order transmission - orders are automatically transported to suppliers
• upstream dependency notification - automated information to upstream parties on scheduled supply chain actions and required deliveries
• downstream deliverability notifications - automated information to downstream partners on supply chain on probable or imminent suppy chain breaks due to deliverability changes
• downstream fulfillment status transmission - the delivery chain status is automatically shared with downstream parties.
• upstream returns transmission - suppliers are notified on upcoming returns and can prepare
• downstream returns status transmission - return are processed at suppliers, but the results are shared automatically to customers.
• downstream electronic billing and crediting - bill are created and digitally transmitted to customers
• electronic invoice checks - bills need to be verfied and only if they are, transmitted to book keeping

All these connectors base on the foundation of b-op connector technology.
