Hospitality Purchasing Software Success Story For

FLAT WORLD GLOBAL SOLUTIONS

Flat World Solutions Group

The

challenge

DUPLICATED EFFORT = DUPLICATED COSTS

Every hospitality procurement project needs efficient transportation of goods from their point of origin to their final destination to bring the project to fruition! Flat World is a leading provider of supply chain management solutions and uses its proprietary technology to optimize FF&E expediting. Wouldn't it be great if Sigma Sourcing purchasing software and Flat World's project management software, HIVE, could talk to each other to make a seamless operation for projects in which Flat World is the freight forwarder?

Multi-tasking is a real thing when Flat World and Sigma Sourcing provide forwarders and purchasers the same data with one update!

Hospitality Software Solution

The

solution

Sigma Sourcing has a practical and easily accessible API that meets such a need. Flat World's access to Sigma on a project level, granted when the Purchasing Company designates Flat World as that project's Freight Forwarder, allows Flat World to pull critical spec, purchase order, and expediting data to populate its own logistics software. Likewise, when Flat World's software is populated with freight tracking updates, that data is pushed into Sigma so Purchaser users can see live-time statuses for every order!

"Sigma and HIVE each provide best-in-class visibility for our clients, so it made sense to connect them to save our clients even more time and money by reducing redundant manual entry. Also, by having the two systems connected, tracking updates happen in real time without users ever having to leave the Sigma platform."

The SUCCESS

This interface occurs without one duplicative keystroke, which is a boon for eliminating errors and, of course, a time-saver and a money-saver for both sides of the equation. New and updated purchase orders flow seamlessly from Sigma to Flat World, enhancing Flat World's ability to serve purchasing companies on their projects! Status updates from Flat World to Sigma keep purchasing companies apprised of every step in the process in real time.
