With powerful Supply Chain B2B functionality Kiwiplan Materials Management System enables sheet plants to use the Internet to both order and monitor their board. This eliminates manual steps in ordering sheets, thus boosting accuracy and plant efficiency. It clearly identifies sheets required to be ordered and automatically transmits orders to sheet suppliers-no re-keying!

Order confirmations are retrieved electronically and automatically from suppliers. The orders can then be monitored for production and delivery status via the Internet with a couple of keystrokes. This information exchange occurs seamlessly in the background, without a fax, phone call, or email.
