PaperExchange.com is adding items to
expand beyond its original exchange model. PaperExchange is introducing a range
of online order, contract and inventory management solutions to meet the more
complex needs of its customers.
The announcement coincides with the
launch of the latest upgrade of the company's pulp and paper
e-Marketplace--version 3.7. This upgrade includes a multi-language trading
floor. Other upgrade features include additional currencies, expanded paper
grades and sizes, additional pricing mechanism support and improved browsing
capabilities.
PaperExchange also will be introducing
StockMover, the first new tool to represent the company's evolution beyond an
exchange model. StockMover, to be added this month, manages suppliers'
inventory that is not committed to a specific buyer. Customers will benefit by
stabilizing intracompany supply and demand imbalances and identifying
profitable methods to convert excess stock into prime product.
A new contract management tool will
also be introduced later in the year, providing three distinct components
designed to create efficiencies by bringing buyers and sellers closer together.
These include: 1) online negotiations via TargetRFQ(TM), a tool that enables
buyers to distribute quotation requests to preferred suppliers; 2) an online
branded storefront that enables order entry and inquiry via a standardized
toolkit and 3) the management of contracts and order settlement. This contract
management tool will benefit members who deal in long-term relationships and
the ongoing order processes that result.
Other site enhancements include:
Additional grades and sizes - 140
paper product grades and sizes, spanning packaging, printing & writing and
recovered paper, have been added to enable much greater specificity for selling
and ordering.
Pricing mechanism support - adds new
units of measure for quantity and price - including imperial and metric - to
support traditional pricing mechanisms at different points in the supply chain.
Enhanced browsing capabilities -
enables members to define a highly customized and focused search for products
on the PaperExchange trading floor. New capabilities include searching by
brand, price and date available, in addition to existing product specification
fields.
Additional comment fields -
facilitates the negotiation process by enabling more robust information
exchanges between buyers and sellers.
