They'll want (and maybe demand) access to selected information from within your company and you will benefit from giving it to them. Welcome to e-STYLEman, which offers your partners 24x7 access to your STYLEman system.

e-STYLEman allows supply chain partners to check and progress Purchase Orders for which they have responsibility, and feed back changes without the need to fax or call. This has the benefits of increasing accuracy and reducing paperwork, and is especially cost-effective when dealing with partners in different time zones.
