TradeCard Inc has announced that Brooks Brothers, a division of Retail Brand Alliance Inc (RBA) has extended its TradeCard membership to fully automate transactions with its global suppliers from purchase order through payment.
Moving supplier transactions onto the TradeCard Platform is part of a global strategic initiative at Brooks Brothers to generate supply chain efficiency and support business growth.
TradeCard's on-demand platform enables Brooks Brothers to improve infrastructure and grow as a global organization without adding new offices, IT or staff. Transaction automation through TradeCard will improve visibility of processes and ensure better control of goods and money movement.
"Removal of paper and manual processes in our transactions is a catalyst to better visibility and control in our supply chain," said Joe Dixon, Senior Vice President of Sourcing, Production and Technical Services at Brooks Brothers.
"TradeCard allows us to improve collaboration with vendors and keep a scorecard to ensure we're making the right decisions with our strategic suppliers overseas. This is an important initiative within our broad strategy to become more agile and operate a smarter global supply chain."
Brooks Brothers works closely with suppliers in the Far East, Europe and the U.S.
"Brooks Brothers is a classic TradeCard customer success story," said Kurt Cavano, CEO of TradeCard Inc. "Brooks Brothers began conducting transactions on the TradeCard Platform in 2005 as part of a strategic relationship with one key supplier. Today, after seeing the impact of automating transactions on our platform, Brooks Brothers is extending TradeCard's value to its suppliers worldwide to improve supply chain visibility and drive business growth."
