Autoweb SupplyServe:
• Do you incur inflated data management costs due to a lack of supplier connectivity?
• Are your suppliers reluctant to establish direct connections because of high implementation and maintenance costs?
Autoweb's SupplyServe allows suppliers to remotely access, via a web browser, a PDM system to work in a fully collaborative fashion. SupplyServe provides all of the benefits of a traditional direct connect solution without the high implementation and support costs.
SupplyServe reduces the resource requirements on the supplier to work within their customers PDM environment, stimulating fully-collaborative connectivity adoption.
Increased levels of PDM integration throughout the supply chain reduces the data management burden at the OEM while streamlining the communication process.
Why SupplyServe?
In collaborative product development programs, suppliers directly connected to the PDM environment is an ideal way to promote supplier integration while reducing the data management burden at the OEM. However, direct connections into an OEM's PDM system can be costly to implement and maintain, often requiring suppliers to make large investments in dedicated hardware, telecommunications and human resources. Because of the costs associated with direct connections, many suppliers have been reluctant to implement such a solution.
