Collaboration – Efficiently Organizing Cooperation
Strengthening cooperation, optimizing shared processes – that is what Metro Link stands for. METRO Group suppliers can use the online portal to conveniently access a variety of programs – the Metro Link tools.
Efficient Cooperation
Which articles of the new product range are suitable to be carried? How to arrange buying conditions? Which additional compensations are due for the last quarter? Should shower gel or rather bath foam be promoted next month? Buyers and Category Managers have to answer similar and many other questions on a daily basis when dealing with their manufacturing partners. In order to decide which articles are to be carried, negotiate conditions and plan advertising efficiently day-to-day business partners have to cooperate.
Collaboration makes it easier for business partners to cooperate beyond company boundaries. Virtual work spaces can be set up for each team, where those involved can communicate with one another, view available documents and post new information. A guarantee, that all team members have access to the same up-to-date information.
On top of that Collaboration offers practical service features: using a message feature partners can obtain information by email about any new topics. An easy to use search feature ensures fast and flawless identification of information required.
