Time and cost reduction is an ongoing priority within any business operation. Modern e-business and e-commerce tools can be as important to productivity as any cutting tool. The increased efficiency and automation of routine business functions connected to trading with suppliers is a key activity since it can release significant administrative time—time better spent on the production process itself.

Place and manage orders in the webshop

The Sandvik Coromant webshop is an easy-to-use online ordering system for manufacturing. By registering online, you get access to up to date information, knowledge and support, including online shopping with the ability to:

• Quickly search products
• Manage roles and users
• Track and manage orders
• Utilize secure payment methods

• Access reporting and order history

Automate business transactions through EDI (Electronic Data Interchange)

EDI is a business tool that can instantaneously exchange purchase orders, advanced shipping notices, order acknowledgements and invoices. All stages of an EDI transaction can be tracked and audited, allowing robust business control. This minimizes many of the problems associated with the manual production, sending, storage and retrieval of documents:

• Code keying errors
• Double punching
• Invoice queries
• Pricing errors
• Delays
• Lack of traceability

Such minor administrative issues can otherwise cause major disruptions to the production, resulting in productivity loss and cost increase. The EDI service offers the potential for a lower stock inventory from shortened lead-times. A fully integrated EDI connection is the ultimate solution for high frequency ordering and where other electronic documents need to be exchanged.
