Tradeweave Message Exchange is part of the QRS Tradeweave Retail Network, a supply chain management platform for collaboration and commerce for the retail community. QRS works with each vendor to ensure compliance so vendors can avoid costly charge-backs and concentrate on manufacturing and delivering merchandise. Tradeweave Message Exchange is used by several of the largest retailers in the United States. Start-up costs are reduced from thousands to a few hundred dollars. Implementation time is reduced from weeks or months to a few hours.
Partners can significantly reduce order cycle time.
Orders are received by the vendor within hours after the retailer initiates a purchase order. Tradeweave Message Exchange eliminates errors by reducing the re-keying of information. The information on the manifest and the case labels is pulled from the purchase order. When the vendor ships the products, Tradeweave Message Exchange will create an ASN and deliver it to the retailer. Shipments with the ASN will process through the DC in a few hours.
