Automation Intelligence
smarter business
We help systems at each end of the supply chain perform better.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) has existed for fifty years, and yet most organisations still have to manually enter more than 80% of the Purchase Order and Invoice transactions they receive.
When it comes to procurement, most organisations would prefer the benefits of an internal hosted catalogue, and yet the complexities of managing all of the product data opened the door for external punch-outs twenty years ago.
Portalink has developed a solution that simplifies managing hosted catalogues. Portalink automates the transaction cycle with unprecedented accuracy – eliminating manual data entry and errors. By lowering the bar for trading partners, Portalink facilitates automated product data exchange efficiency between more vendors and buyers, more cost-effectively, and in a fraction of the time.
