Ballantynes is a well-known New Zealand department store that offers a wide range of products, including fashion, beauty, and homewares. In order to improve their procurement processes and reduce costs, Ballantynes decided to partner with B2BE, a global provider of e-commerce solutions.
What solutions did Ballantynes implement?
B2BE worked with Ballantynes to implement a range of solutions, including electronic purchase orders, electronic invoices, and an electronic supplier portal. These solutions helped to streamline the procurement process and make it more efficient. The electronic purchase orders eliminated the need for manual processing, reducing the risk of errors and speeding up the order process. Electronic invoices were also faster and more accurate, reducing the need for manual data entry and the risk of errors.
The electronic supplier portal was a key component of the solution. It provided suppliers with access to real-time information about their orders and invoices. As a result. this allowed them to manage their own accounts and resolve any issues quickly. This reduced the workload on Ballantynes’ procurement team and also improved supplier relationships. The implementation of these solutions resulted in significant cost savings for Ballantynes. They were able to reduce their purchase order processing time.
Overall, the partnership with B2BE helped Ballantynes to achieve their goals of improving their procurement processes and reducing costs. The solutions implemented by B2BE helped to streamline the procurement process, reduce errors, and improve supplier relationships. The cost savings achieved by Ballantynes have helped them to remain competitive in the market and continue to provide high-quality products to their customers.
