Since its inception in 2006, the overwhelming feedback from the suppliers and the business indicates that the B2B process has led to greater supply chain visibility, improved picking accuracy and faster receiving times.
Our system processes have also matured and with our increased focus on price integrity it is important that suppliers now return POAs containing their Net Invoice Cost including GST per master carton.
