Toyota South Africa - National Parts Distribution Centre engaged the services of Volition (TE) to assist them in the functional requirement specification of its ground-breaking Supplier Management Portal for the parts distribution industry.
The supplier portal will cover a wide spectrum of supplier interaction processes, including purchase order tracking, new part preparations, quality resolution, document exchange and supplier performance management.
It`s envisaged that the implementation of such a portal will increase the delivery performance and reliability of suppliers, as well as improved communication between Toyota and the suppliers. The end result is better service to the dealers (and, ultimately, you and me) regarding availability of service parts at a better price.
After successfully delivering the functional specification, we`re currently in the next phase of the project and busy putting the request for proposal together for the development of the portal. Once a solution has been selected, the technical specification, development, testing, piloting and roll-out is to follow. There is still a long road ahead where Volition and the Toyota team will be working to ensure value is delivered to Toyota and its end customers.
Once again, Toyota (together with Volition) is "Leading the Way"!
