Light up, light up: Briloner adopts TradeBeyond as its end-to-end supply chain platform

German lighting brand and retailer Briloner has adopted TradeBeyond as its multi-enterprise supply chain platform.

It will use the tech to cover its end-to-end supply chain operations, from product development to sourcing and supply chain.

TradeBeyond has worked with Briloner to implement the platform’s product development, sourcing, supplier management, and vendor purchase order modules.

Briloner has also gone live with TradeBeyond’s logistics capabilities, which the company uses to combine purchase orders and consolidate shipments.

Later this year, Briloner will launch a second phase with TradeBeyond’s quality and sample management modules, including its Mobile Inspector app, which allows quality inspectors to record all data electronically on tablets and mobile devices, and easily attach photos, videos, and voice memos to inspection reports.

The app eliminates the large amounts of manual work and corresponding errors created by paper reporting and data sharing across multiple software systems.

Briloner sources across Europe and Asia, with vendors in all major European countries. The company has already onboarded more than 100 suppliers on to TradeBeyond.

“With such a vast network of global suppliers to manage, we recognised the need to automate core processes and simplify workflows,” a spokesperson for Briloner’s Procurement Department says.

“TradeBeyond’s platform was best equipped to meet such a wide range of our business needs. Over time the platform will cover all of our supply chain operations, and we're already enjoying the benefits of the efficiencies it has introduced.”

“We’ve worked closely with Briloner to implement solutions that will help it continue to scale, synchronise processes, and to better navigate their global supply chain,” says Tim Chiu, Senior Vice President at TradeBeyond. “It’s a privilege to help drive the continued growth of such an esteemed company.”
