E-commerce solutions for manufacturers create efficient purchasing processes

Time and cost reduction is an ongoing priority within any business operation. Modern e-business and e-commerce tools can be as important to productivity as any cutting tool. The increased efficiency and automation of routine business functions connected to trading with suppliers is a key activity since it can reduce significant administrative time—time better spent on the production process itself.

Place and manage orders in the webshop

The Sandvik Coromant webshop is an easy to use, online ordering system for manufacturing. By registering online, you get access to up to date information, knowledge, and support, including online shopping with the ability to:

• Quickly search products
• Manage roles and users
• Track and manage orders
• Utilize secure payment methods
• Personalize catalogs
• Access reporting and order history

Automate business transactions through EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

EDI is a business tool that can instantaneously exchange purchase orders, advanced shipping notices, and order acknowledgments and invoices. All stages of an EDI transaction can be tracked and audited, allowing robust business control. This minimizes many of the problems associated with the manual production, sending, storage, and retrieval of documents:

• Code keying errors
• Double punching
• Invoice queries
• Pricing errors
• Delays
• Lack of traceability

These minor administrative issues can otherwise cause major disruptions to the production, resulting in productivity loss and cost increase. The EDI service offers the potential for a lower stock inventory as a result of shortened lead times. A fully integrated EDI connection is the ultimate solution for high frequency ordering and where other electronic documents need to be exchanged.

Get access to personalized tool information

E-catalogs are customized product information data files that are delivered according to your specification. The e-catalogs will help you reduce the administrative work when buying cutting tools. Discuss the availability of this solution with your Sandvik Coromant representative.
