Through the last decade, most manufacturers were insulated from the frenzy of their CEOs screaming to “get the company online.” For most in manufacturing, the old-fashioned way of handling transactions worked just fine. But as the 90s came to a close, in came the stark reality that distributors and other customers who happily used phone ordering and the U.S. Postal Service now were requiring their manufacturers to get with the program and conduct transactions online. For most businesses in manufacturing this struck fear in the heart of executives as the scramble to become familiar with internet terms and protocol began. Now manufacturers have established networks that can handle volume traffic via the Internet, however organizing computers, and telecom pipes is very different from organizing data and transactions. Manufacturing CEOs have long been wary of the increasing cost of business to keep up with cutting edge supply chain management. This paper will outline the major hurdles in getting online interactions to be profitable and successful and describe TransDigital’s best practices through its new product, TransCommerce 2.0. By improving the flow, accuracy, and timeliness of information, secure Internet applications provide greater efficiency throughout the supply chain. The internet does create savings in the long run from cheaper information delivery and cheaper supplier costs due to reduced search and transaction processing.
