Portals are online platforms that allow businesses to conduct interactions and transactions with customers and suppliers instantly, facilitating a more intuitive and connected operation. An integrated portal solution allows organizations in the supply chain to have one interface shared across their business community.

What are the benefits of portals?

At a basic level, web portals make ordering easier and more reliable, with full visibility and 24/7 order placement. Suppliers, for example, can receive orders via their online portal, offering automatic status updates and other functions as required. This allows businesses to make transactions more efficient and effective, no matter the size of the order or the customer. Going beyond a simple eCommerce option, a portal solution delivers a more professional and smooth business experience for all parties. Notable improvements to business operations include:

• Reduced errors – No more wasted time or correcting the fallout from simple mistakes. Portal solutions remove the need to manually input data, eliminating errors and their resulting costs.
• Ease of business – Smoother transactions and communications between businesses, with no need to make radical changes to current Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.
• Increased customer loyalty – Portals don't just make the ordering process more reliable and robust. Businesses seeking to remain competitive can offer attractive benefits via their portals, such as loyalty schemes and seasonal offers.

Is it right for your business?

Portals are best suited to businesses that need to deal regularly with multiple buyers or sellers – especially for customer orders. In particular, manufacturers benefit from the streamlined ordering and tracking granted by a portal solution. Alternative options for businesses in the agricultural supply chain include EDI and OCR services (link to those separate articles).
