🦾 API is the key!

How do you keep up in a world where there’s just tons of data, everything moves fast, and needs real-time updates? For Wayne Wayne Ellis, SVI’s VP of Supply Chain North American Operations, utilizing API was key in solving these issues and more! 

🎧 Listen to our podcast today to learn more about this exciting program.

“So the problem is there's a severe global shortage of many electronic components today, making it very difficult to find available inventory in the market. So we need real-time information from our suppliers so that we can review stock availability and pricing. And this project allows us to obtain information electronically in real-time, allowing us to better service the needs of our customers. So by utilizing API our system can communicate with our suppliers, allowing stock visibility, pricing comparison, and actually place POs directly with key suppliers without any human involvement.”
