The turn key solution for both Enterprises and SMBs

Enterprises that purchase products from multiple sellers struggle to trade electronically with SMB sellers. Unlike Enterprise sellers, SMBs don’t have the resources to implement existing trading standards, such as EDI. Consequently manual purchasing processes must be maintained by Enterprises to provide SMBs with email, fax or phone calls when ordering or inquiring for price and availability.

For example, an Enterprise may have implemented an Internet based buying solution such as Ariba, SAP or Oracle and may be purchasing from 500 to 3,000 businesses. In Pareto style, 80% of the required purchases will come from 20% of those suppliers who are prepared to invest in electronic commerce technology. Invariably this means Enterprises must deal with 80% of SMB’s manually. Netfira’s Seller SMB solution provides even the smallest companies with a ‘turn key’ solution that can be easily accessed by Netfira’s Buyer for Enterprise application.
