12 Supply Chain Hub

This section describes the common functionality and configurations available for Supply Chain Hub.

Functionalities

Supply Chain Hub works as the entry point to a group of applications that combines retailers and suppliers in the same portal. Depending on which applications are available in the Hub the users will be presented with a summary in the homepage and according to the user type (supplier or retailer) will have visibility on Operational News and Queries.

Operational News is a functionality that allows the retailers to share news with targeted suppliers in a central place, the retailers have permissions to create and edit them while the suppliers can only view them.

Another functionality is Queries, this functionality aims to allow the dialog between retailers and suppliers regarding a specific entity, like a Purchase Order or Shipment. This way the dialog is focused on that specific entity and makes easier the context.

Working as true Hub, Supply Chain Hub adapts to the applications that are installed in the system not only with different charts being presented in the homepage but also with a menu with access to all those applications so switching between applications keeps the context of the user in a seamless experience.
