Challenges

No centralized system in place to collaborate with its suppliers
Increased margin of error with high levels of human touch

Results

As a global manufacturer of highly complex products that include thousands of components, Advanced Energy had no centralized system in place to collaborate with its suppliers. They relied on a silo approach to communicate in which each method was independent of one another. Fax, email, and phone communications were each used separately to assure crucial workflow information. With Liferay Portal, Advanced Energy rolled out a solution that enabled suppliers to forecast and procure purchase orders with savings of over $1.5 million.
