Rockline Ind. Case-Study: Supplier/Buyer Portal – Automate PO Lifecycle, Pricing Management plus ASN 3PL “Uber Freight” Integration

Rockline Industries is one of the leading manufacturers of wet wipes, coffee filters, and baking cups. As a leader in their industry, they needed an automated workflow system that manages the complete pricing lifecycle.  They decided to partner with K-Rise Systems to develop a Procure-to-Pay PO technology-driven platform/workflow that manages the complete pricing lifecycle and delivers the correct pricing the first time.

This webinar will show you exactly how they did it!

PO Portal Management:

• The “Project Handshake” portal provides Supplier/Buyer PO Management Automation eliminating manual and standalone (email, phone, fax, etc.) unstructured communications. It solved PO issues by removing data inaccuracies along with scheduling, production, and forecasting issues. The project reduced risk, costs, and created better process outcomes.
• They are also in the process of adding the ability for suppliers to enter their on-hand inventory levels to assist buyers in better managing stock.

With their intelligent ASN form, they interface with Uber Freight, their strategic 3PL transportation (request/pickup) partner.

Price Management:

Supplier Price Management replaced manual tasks with a vendor-specific workflow-based portal that allowed easy pricing views, updates (table or excel), and collaboration against several areas of the business. It provides automated impact (open & forecasted PO’s) calculation, document management approval notifications, justification dialog audits, effectivity date, and quantity break functionality. It eliminated invoice & payment errors and delays.

What this webinar will cover:

1. Price Management:

• Price Change Methods: Excel, Grid, etc.
