At Vimercati, competitiveness in costs and response times also depends on systems that can assure maximum flexibility when communication with suppliers and sub-contractors is a priority.

The chosen solution is that of an independent portal which allows all users, both inside and outside the factory, to rely on real-time communication and to update their information independently and separately, while not altering their organisation.

We can thus control the wide and complex network of our suppliers and sub-contractors, who are an integral and active part of our managing system.

Communication is assured by messages passed through web technology and standard systems of information exchanges.

The result is a “virtual community” which has allowed us to speed up most of the previous communication processes, and to inform all our suppliers and sub-contractors of any alterations in commercial priorities, urgent orders, change in material supply and resources availability, and so on.
