| DEMAND AGGREGATION |
 |
| • |
Demand Aggregation allows companies to combine buying power across multiple locations, business units, affiliates, banners, legacy systems, etc. into one aggregated buy to maximize buying power and minimize costs
|
| • |
Demand aggregation is tightly coupled with iTN's pricing, Request For Quote, procurement, and logistics modules to maximize flexibility and efficiencies. Aggregated demand can be sent:
- Directly to vendors.
- To internal buying groups
- To 3rd party buying groups

One company combined 10 distribution centers, 2 affiliates and 3 separate legacy systems into one aggregated demand process. This capability could not have been achieved without the collaborative on-line capabilities of iTN.
|
| • |
System allows for maximum flexibility so companies can focus on the best procurement practices (centralized, de-centralized, 3rd parties, field buyers, brokers, etc) without being hindered by technology constraints
|
| • |
Demand Aggregation can be integrated with current systems to maximize efficiencies and internal investments.
|
| • |
