The software provides both manufacturers and suppliers a single Internet portal where they can view forecasts and kanban signals, release purchase orders, track orders and manage receipts.

The product includes the ability to manage a wide variety of inventory replenishment methods, including: schedule-based replenishment, discrete POs, min/max, consignment and VMI (vendor-managed inventory) replenishment methods.
