DUBLIN, CA - “I get by with a little help from my friends” offers a valuable life lesson in the form of the song by The Beatles (or Joe Cocker, depending on personal preference)—friendships are critical for “getting by.” In this industry, that outlook takes shape in partnerships that allow us to work together to establish a safe and secure food supply chain. But sometimes, managing the logistics end can be best managed by teaming up with an expert—an expert like iTradeNetwork. The well-established company offers a robust suite of supply chain management solutions, including traceability, logistics, quality, and analytics solutions, enabling its customers to focus on what they do best, while iTradeNetwork takes care of the rest. Now would be a great time to make friends with the solutions company, as iTradeNetwork is currently touting promotions and products that can be of great benefit to anyone in the supply chain.

“We believe that the world would be a better place if we knew where, and had confidence in, where our food came from,” Bryn McFadden, Manager of Marketing, told me. “We want to make it just as easy for a small, remote farm in Costa Rica and a large growing operation in Yuma, Arizona to adopt the latest technologies. That’s why we're taking away any barriers that suppliers have when implementing a traceability solution. With our new promotion, we are offering one free year of our traceability solutions, and we are taking on all the heavy lifting.”

Though the company used to be known mostly for its procurement and order management systems, iTradeNetwork can provide so much more. If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to jump aboard and see what the company has to offer, taking advantage of its current promotion offering free traceability for one year. Free anything for a year is incredible, but a year of free traceability solutions? Now you’re cooking with gas.

“Being able to provide robust, end-to-end traceability increases consumer confidence and makes you incredibly attractive to buyers. Many buyers are demanding traceability and transparency, and our customers have been able to grow their business with new and current buyers because iTracefresh is a solution the industry trusts. We will even promote your business as a member of the world’s safest food supply chain through press releases, ads, and more.” Bryn said.

The year of free traceability includes two of iTradeNetwork’s products: its PTI solution, which is called Label; and its Transit solution, which is a PTI-palletized ASN solution. The first suppliers to sign up will also receive a free hardware package, valued at $4,000. And if you somehow start getting cold feet at the end of the year, you can walk away, no strings attached. But really, your feet will most likely stay toasty warm, because iTradeNetwork offers significantly discounted pricing for year two and three. For any company looking to make the leap to a new solution, now is definitely the time.

iTradeNetwork will be a highly-valuable partner even when the first year is up, not just due to its competitive pricing, but for its range of other solutions, including its recent procurement solution, iTradeOrder.

“We've been in procurement for the last 20 years, but iTradeOrder is our new solution specifically for mid-market buyers. iTradeOrder simplifies the order management process with native mobile applications, collaborative workflows, issue based management, and self-service onboarding that connects new trading partners quickly and seamlessly,” Bryn commented.

iTradeNetwork provides other solutions as well, including iTradeFreight, a logistics solution for buyers and suppliers. iTradeFreight allows companies to plan and model different scenarios when they start building their purchase orders. With this solution, buyers and suppliers can factor logistics costs into their procurement process.

“Logistics costs really cut into our customers’ already razor-thin margins,” Bryn explained. “With iTradeFreight, our customers will be able to maximize their margins on every PO.”

When it comes to making friends, iTradeNetwork is a pro, ready to anticipate your needs and offer innovative solutions, and with its current promotions, the door is wide open to anyone ready to walk through it. Go ahead, try it—you might end up besties.
