Large customer within the consumer packaged goods industry signs new agreement with PipeChain. 

Today, top management teams are talking about the digitalization of supply chains end-to-end, using old as well as new technology and methodology like Internet of Things (IoT), big data technology and industry/process standardization and automation. It’s to a large extent about a skill shift, again, and this time from innovation economy to digitalization. The ongoing re-conceptualization of supply chains will open up for concepts like Industry 4.0 and Seamless Supply Chains.

To strengthen their competitiveness and to future-proof their IT infrastructure, Weland group will replace their local EDI setup with PipeChains Cloud based EDI service TCS™. The first step in the project will focus on migrating the existing flows from the local installation up to the cloud and in to PipeChain TCS™ where communication, protocol switching and conversion are done. After the first step is finalized considerably more of Weland Groups business flows will be digitalized and added within TCS™.

PipeChain delivers a cloud-based EDI solution, PipeChain TCS™, for fast, efficient and secure supplier integration and communication covering the order-to-invoice process. Using PipeChain TCS™ will streamline the entire purchase order process with suppliers. PipeChain TCS™ is integrated with NetOnNet's ERP system.

Today, one of the most exciting topics in the supply chain debate is IoT (Internet of Things), in connection with for example “supply chain visibility end-to-end” and “Industry  4.0”,where industrial robots and other automation systems are connected and capable of reacting to market demand and responding accordingly.

Pipechain has been contracted to deliver our cloud-based EDI service TCS ™ (TradeCom Services) to AB Rydéns in Gnosjö.

Pipechain has signed an agreement with Markslöjd Lighting Group, which owns the Markslöjd and Lamp Gustaf brands. Together with our partners NAB Solutions we will deliver our TCS™ (TradeCom Services) cloud-based communications service for converting file formats, and electronic communication with Markslöjd’s customers.

Whether it’s customized and complicated or following established industry standards, whether it’s electronic or e-documents, or even paper, it doesn’t matter. PipeChain’s cloud based “pipe” for 100% e-invoicing, PipeChain TCS™ Invoicing, covers 100% of your needs. Ask one of our customers who have run the service since many years.

You can now visualize your business transactions with customers and suppliers, in combination with selected add-on data from your ERP system, in a unique visibility tool from PipeChain.

Support for older versions will be ending from the last quarter of 2014. Therefore, we recommend planning for upgrading to the latest version of TWIM as soon as possible.

PipeChain is an exhibitor at the annual Logistik & Affärssystem ( Logistics & ERP) conference in Värnamo, Sweden on May 14. The theme for the conference is "Outsourcing" and a number of speakers will talk about this subject.

Chalmers University Professors Stig-Arne Mattsson and Patrik Jonsson describes in their latest publication, "Best practice in inventory management in Swedish industry", guidelines for how companies can improve their inventory management.
