Small independent businesses do not have the manpower or technology to deal effectively and efficiently with large, highly automated trading partners.
LDM’s Ordering & Replenishment service bridges the gap, by simplifying and automating ordering, receiving and invoicing to allow small organizations to share in the cost savings and other benefits enjoyed by large organizations.
In addition to orders and invoices, other documents such as delivery notes and price files can be handled within Ordering & Replenishment.
