Premier BPO LLC’s Supplier Enablement Services provide a process by which we enable our clients to electronically connect to their suppliers (or other trading partners) to fully optimize their supply chain. Supplier enablement is achieved when suppliers of goods and services are connected to a company’s back-office systems in order to exchange critical business documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and other information. Suppliers can be connected, or “enabled,” using a variety of means including Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), Extensible Markup Language (XML), Web forms, RFID chips, or other e-commerce tools.
