E-marketplace For the Construction Industry Is Built On Solid Foundations

Tags:
erp

Overview Asite is a leading business-to-business (B2B) provider of e-marketplace services to the construction industry. Its e-marketplace serves all participants involved in the supply chain - from design through procurement to materials delivery. The e-marketplace is the hub for seven interconnected marketplaces. All parties working on a site access up-to-date project management information, including product specifications and alternatives, costs, lead-time and restraints. The information is integrated into back-end systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), enabling payment processes to be streamlined. In addition, the visibility of customer demand means that materials manufacturers know exactly what they have to hold in stock. They no longer have to carry large amounts of goods in their inventory in case of unprecedented demand.
