Faster easier ordering

Still need to fax orders?

What if your vendor only accepts fax orders? We get it... fax is old, but it's not dead.

We can automate the entire fax process from within Maximo using your enterprise fax server. When you flag an order as to be faxed, a background process picks it up and uses your fax server to send the order to your vendor. It'll even try multiple times until it transmits successfully. Easier Maximo PO faxing!

But there's an even better way to communicate with your vendors...

How is The Order Hub better than fax or email?

Faxing a purchase order or work order to a supplier is one-way communication with a set end point - successful fax transmission. With The Order Hub you can have a conversation about the order using tools accessible to both of you. These are just some of the benefits you'll realize by sending orders with The Order Hub:

Fast, easy order creation
Use your existing system or manage your purchasing process in The Hub
Eliminates duplicate data entry
Reduces the chance for error
Ensures ongoing communication with the vendor
Eliminates "who said what" confusion
Sends PO or WO to your vendors

Vendors can update or request changes to orders online
Auto-sends reminders to you and to your vendors
All expediting rules are configurable
Every approved change is logged in The Order Hub
Integrated with Maximo, all approved changes are logged as revisions
Automated confirmation of delivery
Access dynamic discounting

What if you need both?

90% or more of your vendors support receiving orders through The Order Hub. If you still have a few vendors who insist on faxed orders, we've got you covered.
The Order Hub will send purchase orders and work orders to your vendors electronically by default, but it will also fax PO's and WO's to vendors who still require it. All you have to do is click a checkbox.
