Our software solutions enable information sharing between incompatible business systems and technologies, resulting in improved efficiencies and operational performance. Our focus is on electronically connecting trading partners in distribution industries, to automate time-consuming manual processes, while aligning solutions with business requirements. GCommerce is a private corporation founded in 2000. Market Overview Manufacturers, distributors, buying groups, and retailers of goods and services face significant pressure to increase supply chain efficiencies. One method of improving performance is to facilitate information sharing with upstream and downstream trading partners to optimize demand forecasting, production and inventory planning, sales and marketing, and distribution. In a recent survey of IT executives, 84% stated that electronic collaboration is a priority. However, inefficient and ineffective information systems are the largest barrier to supply chain integration. Current methods of information sharing, including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR), and middleware are generally expensive and difficult to implement. Common obstacles include the number of business partners (often several hundred), the complexities of business process integration, the multiple legacy operating systems, applications, and databases involved, and the proprietary technologies used. Connectivity Solution GCommerce provides cost-effective, non-invasive software solutions designed to streamline and improve supply chain operations for manufacturers, distributors, buying groups, and retailers of goods and services. Our innovative DataConX application enables real-time, effective information sharing among trading partners throughout the supply chain. Based on our patent-pending technology, our solutions eliminate the traditional cost, time, and infrastructure barriers caused by the diversity of legacy systems employed by disparate trading partners. |
