– Electronic support for partner collaboration covers a broader context of serving the logistics community, providing mechanisms for creating and managing logistics clusters, access to a logistics knowledge base, and conducting video conferences among many distributed partners simultaneously – says Bogusław Śliwczyński from the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing.
Supporting logistics services on the EPL platform covers a sequence of actions from placing an order by the customer to confirming the receipt of ordered products. Many variant solutions for entering orders (e.g., entering data via a prepared electronic form, importing data from a database or enterprise data sheet) create the flexibility of the EPL software valued by specialists.
The EPL platform is an integration tool scalable for any length of supply chain. Each partner can simultaneously act as a customer and a supplier for another recipient, and an operator providing logistics services can simultaneously be a customer placing orders to suppliers. This creates a unique flexibility of the internet environment, adapted to the needs of entrepreneurs. Taking into account the simultaneous possibility of cooperating with many customers and suppliers as well as subcontractors (logistics operators, carriers), the EPL platform is a tool for integrating many chains forming a supply network.
After the testing phase, the Electronic Logistics Platform will be made available at www.epl.net.pl. It is worth remembering this address today!
