POWERFUL FEATURES

Order Updates  

Knowledge is key to a frictionless transaction. That's why we have built order updates into ShipServ Trade to help keep buyers updated in a central location.

You can either request an update directly in the Platform or, the supplier can set up notifications to automatically update you as the transaction status changes. 

Either way, seamless updates lead to frictionless transactions.

POWERFUL FEATURES

Service Orders

Dealing with Service Orders is a tricky process to manage and document, thanks to the known and unknown aspects of the service parts and labour charges. 

That's why we have developed our own Service Orders* offering within ShipServ Trade to bring what has traditionally been managed outside of the procurement platform inside.

We have found a way to manage the unknown in a procurement compliant way, to ensure ease within ShipServ as well as full control and visibility.

POWERFUL FEATURES

Reporting & Insights 

How do you know which suppliers are performing better, turning quotes around quickly and providing value? 

That's where our Supplier Performance Reporting (SPR) tools come in - they enable you to see exactly which suppliers are performing the best, which are the most responsive, and where you can look to make improvements  to remove any friction in your transactions.
