Business to Business (B2B)

The B2B component of Active-e enables the retailer to have a direct connection to the participating suppliers host computer. This will allow the placing of orders, checking available stock, checking prices and locating NEW product a cinch!

The Active-e usage of EDI will also allow you to "download" sku#, images, short and long descriptions and your cost along with the MSRP. Thus, no more data entry when new models come out, and no more missing those price changes. It will all be automatic with AIMsi and Active-e.

For suppliers, Active-e will make it so easy for retailers to buy from you, this may just be what you need to get your share of the market. It's easy to be a part of Active-e, so contact us today to get in on the best Supplier to Dealer program available!

The employee receiving the order will be able to scan one barcode on the outside of the container and will immediately know the contents of the container including individual serial numbers.

Supplier Availability:

Suppliers can provide a Stock Availability service to active-e. Retailers will be able to see if a supplier has a product available before submitting a purchase order. This check can also be done at the sku level or when entering a customers special order.
