iZap

What is iZap?
The iZap system is designed to automate, consolidate, improve, and most-importantly, reduce the acquisition cost of direct and indirect materials. iZap enables you to rapidly and accurately reorder materials from your established suppliers using a single barcode scanner and the iZap transaction platform. Fast, accurate orders are sent to your suppliers via electronic data interchange (EDI), FTP, electronic mail or fax. You receive a confirming purchase order electronically and can monitor your orders via a web browser.

Unlike vendor-provided scanning tools, iZap allows you to manage your supply chain with the vendors of your choosing using a single scanner and a web browser.

The iZap system includes a simple barcode scanner and a secured access to our Internet-based processing platform. No specialized on-site software is required. Set-up and management of your trading relationships is accomplished through iZap's on-line tools and utilities.

How it Works:

• User scans barcode labels of items needing to be replenished. PO and reorder quantities have been predefined within iZap
• Keychain scanner is connected to a PC running the iZap CS client software which immediately downloads the scan data
• Data is automatically transmitted to iZap's webserver via the Internet. No phone line needed!
• iZap generates orders and acknowledgements per the customer and supplier setup.

Benefits:

• Reduces order processing costs
• Minimizes purchasing time and paperwork
• Standardizes ordering process across suppliers
• Lowers on-hand inventory
• Increases control of inventory
• Provides Internet based reporting tools
