A business has many internal departments and systems that need to be integrated for full visibility. Similarly, a business community contains many external partners like vendors, distributors, and points of sales that also need integration and visibility. However, connecting and optimizing these systems is challenging due to a lack of resources and expertise. DiSupply addresses these needs through a cloud-based B2B platform that enables full collaboration and data exchange between a business and its entire supply chain community. Key features include mobility, integration with ERP systems, and modules for inventory management, ordering, and reporting.

Notes de l'éditeur
Let’s go back few years ago
In the 80, companies were having to deal with many departmental solution:
ERP approach to bring integration and visibility.
If we apply the supply chain reality to the same schema, we realise that the supply chain management is at the same stage where the businesses were few years ago regarding their internal processes management.
In your supply chain, you find the same schema and the same needs.
You have different partners using different systems.
You need them to work together, to exchange data and to collaborate.
For a real optimisation, you need integration between you and your partners.
For a real collaboration, you need the visibility on the overall process.
One of the major Trend is the integration.
The first step is the internal systems integration.
The systems are more open then ever.
The editors provide Software Development Kit to allow theirs partners to develop added value solutions integrated to their system.
The value of a solution will be more and more defined by the value brought by its developer partners community.
This will allow your different departments to work and collaborate efficiently.
Your business performance will be linked to your capability to get to full visibility on your overall processes.
The second step is the partners integration
EDI is used for many years, but very little has been achieved.
The usual business documents exchanged are still p.o., invoices and ASN.
The opening of the systems will bring a more tighten integration.
This will help to provide
Inventory visibility
Stock tracking and so on
The goal being eventually to reach a visibility on the whole supply chain
This trend simply follows the IT evolution.
Few years ago, companies were buying hardware and were developing there own systems.
Now companies buy ERPs and switch the hardware management to service providers.
Infrastructure is nowadays a commodity and companies want to spend more effort to bring real value to the enterprise.
This trend is not a surprise.
Many solution providers want to target this new opportunity.
But most of the time, we only use on a mobile device a view extension on the internal systems.
The real value added solution are still to come.
We assist to a battle for the device market.
The battle is switching to the solutions which will bring real value to the companies.
Companies need to go further than the data exchanges.
A collaborative approach involves a strategy and a system shared by all the business partners community.
Like an ERP consolidates the different business departments into one system, we will assist to the introduction of solutions that will consolidate a supply chain community.
Bringing all the business partner to use a unique platform, we will have the opportunity to develop real collaborative solutions.
From the ERP (the Enterprise Resource Planning) we will assist to the venue of the SCRP (the Supply Chain Resource Planning)
Our response to those market needs and trends, as we see it at DiCentral, is our B2B platform DiSupply.
Many-to-Many platform enabling the full supply chain community to connect and exchange
Regular DMS manages only the sales force.
DiSupply supports many business scenarios.

DiSupply Can be integrated to WMS
DiCentral provide WMS on premise or WMS in the cloud that can be linked to DiSupply.
