80%of the data you need to drive
and improve your sales
processes is outside of your
company’s walls
Source: Gartner 2017
80%
• 80% of the data resides at customers,
service providers and warehouses
• ERP software focuses on internal
processes, but in reality most challenges
lie outside of the company

4. On the way to the self-managing supply chain
Real time, zero touch
4
What would it be like if..?
• Almost all of your orders are ‘zero touch’ and you
only have to react to exceptions; everything that’s
correct will automatically be processed between
ERP systems
• All external communication is centralized and
everybody works with the same information
• There is real time insight in what happens, or can
happen
• Suppliers or buyers can easily connect with
different ERP systems
• Data improves over time, which can be used for
forecasts and well informed decisions

5. Step 1: Order collaboration
5
 One interface to connect many customers
 Automatically send purchase orders to suppliers
 Suppliers confirm orders online or from their own ERP
 ERP data is immediately updated
 Only exceptions end up in a workflow
 All communication is centralized and ‘in context’ of
an order or delivery
 Real time insight in supplier reliability and possible
risks
 Expanding processes step by step with shipments,
forecasts or central item management
