The Supplier Management empowers distributors or retailers to efficiently manage supplier interactions and ensure data accuracy, regardless of their PIM setup.
Supplier Management is designed to streamline the collaboration between distributors/retailers and PCC, regardless of whether PCC is used as their primary Product Information Management (PIM) system. Distributors, as PCC customers, benefit from this feature in two key scenarios:
Using PCC as the PIM: When distributors rely on PCC as their PIM, all SKU updates and data management are seamlessly handled within the system.
Using an External PIM: For distributors utilizing another PIM software but accessing PCC’s Supplier Portal, PCC maintains a synchronized copy of their PIM data. Final, approved SKU data can be pushed to the external PIM.
Administrator Role in Supplier Management
The supplier management process is typically handled by an administrator in this case it could be a distributor or a retailer, who sets up supplier details, allocates categories, and defines rules for suppliers to follow when submitting product data. While this setup is generally a one-time effort, administrators may occasionally make updates to reflect changes in supplier relationships or product categories.
The Supplier Management Portal simplifies these critical processes, ensuring a robust framework for efficient supplier collaboration and accurate data management.
NOTE: The Suppliers tab in PCC is not available for all customer and can be enabled upon request.
