document management allows supply chain executives to find a supplier’s
transaction history within a few clicks. Executives can review purchase records
and communications quickly and easily.

There are many
ways in which humans - so far - continue to stay ahead of computers. Humans are
the creators, the innovators and the communicators. However, there are some
things that computers excel at that humans do not. Principally, repetitive
tasks that require accuracy. For example; humans are quite error-prone when it
comes to entering purchase orders containing identical or near-identical
information. An automated system can generate error-free purchase orders in a
fraction of the time - freeing the humans up to do what they do best.
