Case Study: Metso Automation achieves streamlined supplier integration and improved purchasing efficiency with Liaison Technologies' SupplierWeb

Metso Automation - Customer Case Study

Metso Automation, a global provider of process automation and flow control solutions, needed to overhaul its supplier network as part of a global ERP rollout. The company faced challenges around reducing costs, increasing operational efficiency, enabling secure supplier access to CAD drawings, and gaining better visibility into off-site tooling and inventory—requirements that its legacy systems and in-house portal could not meet.

Liaison delivered a hybrid integration using EDI for high-volume suppliers and its web-based SupplierWeb for others, adding Vendor Managed Inventory and Tooling Asset Management plus automated order delivery and exception handling tied to Metso’s ERP. The solution streamlined purchasing, reduced resource needs and working capital for stocked items, improved asset visibility and accountability, and simplified supplier communications through a single ERP interface.
