-
2THINK, LLC, an innovator of supply chain management
solutions, announced today immediate availability of a new 2THINK
collaboration™ release making it much easier to utilize ASN
functionality, enabling users with accurate in-transit visibility
and simplified transaction processing. Utilizing barcode
technology, users can ship, track and receive complex, multi-line
shipments with as few as 3 mouse clicks.
2THINK collaboration™, a Software as a Service (SaaS)
solution, is a web-based supply chain management solution developed
to streamline the management of supply chain needs through a
lean-centric model. 2THINK collaboration™ helps companies that
manufacture or distribute products with a wide range of vendors,
part numbers or complex processes by utilizing this quickly
activated and simply streamlined tool. Connecting customers and
suppliers in real time, this powerful resource provides end to end
visibility and control of the supply chain using visual dashboard
cues and the automation of many manual processes. Real time, demand
driven functionality eases the daily burden of its users allowing
for more time to collaborate with suppliers on value add activities,
such as pricing and sourcing. Simplified processes drive instant ROI
directly to the bottom line in the form of dollars saved and
improved performance by reducing purchasing processing time, cost,
and errors for customers and their suppliers alike.
In addition to the newly launched ASN
capability, 2THINK collaboration™ v1.2.6 contains a number of
enhancements including improved demand data views, enhanced visual
queues, and full support for CSV formatted data.
2THINK Partner and CTO Jim Von Ins
notes “v1.2.6 represents our most flexible, robust and intuitive
release to date. The new ASN functionality provides detailed real
time visibility to supply chain activity through a surprisingly
