16 Mile OV (OV = Order Visibility) re-invents the way companies integrate their supply chains by delivering real-time, multidirectional, and always accessible purchase order information to their buy-side and sell-side trading partners. Our hosted, cloud computing platform brings visibility to supply chain processes, activities, and documents in unprecedented ways:
Buy-Side and Sell-Side Purchase Order Visibility
16 Mile OV delivers real time, multidirectional data to our customers and their trading partners throughout the order lifecycle —
from receipt of the purchase order to delivery of the final invoice. Both buy-side and sell-side vendors can see the status of a
purchase order at any point in time, acknowledging receipt, communicating problems, and analyzing data to meet the expectations of
their customers
Predictable, Fixed-Fee Pricing Model
Unlike hosted EDI solutions, we do not charge for the exchange of data between our customers and their trading partners, for data
stored in our system, or for purchase orders, invoices, shipping notices, and other documents that come into the system but haven’t
been distributed **
Instead, we charge for the license to connect to each trading partner, along with a one-time set-up fee to establish the direct
connection and map each trading partner’s required supply chain documents to the 16 Mile OV
system
Cost-Efficient, Low Overhead Cloud Computing
The 16 Mile OV cloud computing platform allows us to continually enhance performance and add capabilities based on the latest data
translation, application, and reporting technologies. In addition, the efficiency and scalability of cloud computing minimize our
customers’ investment in new hardware and software, while meeting several key supply chain requirements:
- Accepts tight, loose, or manual data in a broad range of formats to accommodate any back office ERP system
- Automates the process of managing electronic data interchange (EDI) compliance by both domestic and off-shore suppliers based on each customer’s unique EDI rules and policies
- Allows customers to define permissions, views, data access, and data delivery based on pre-specified roles for each trading partner
Document Management and Built-in Reporting Tools
16 Mile OV’s performance reports are automatically populated in real time with incoming data to show the status of purchase orders
at any point in time. The depth of 16 Mile OV’s visibility into supply chain processes, activities, and documents results in more
informed decision-making and proactive problem-solving, while improving customer satisfaction and service levels. Specifically, our
built-in tools support supply chains in the following ways:
- Document Creation: For advance shipping notices (in seven different packing combinations), invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, UCC labels, and more, along with cross-reference tables for the corresponding SKUs of your suppliers
- Order Tracking and Management: Order management, email/text message notification, response management, and EDI compliance
- Reporting and Analysis: Sales and spend analysis, supplier performance analysis, inventory reporting, and order track and trace
