"By selecting Wesupply, Sainsbury's will not only consolidate onto a single B2B platform but significantly improve visibility into critical supply chain processes," LMS said in a statement.
The platform will enable Sainsbury's to integrate with supplier back-office systems, provide checking and validation of content against business rules of all messages exchanged between Sainsbury's and suppliers and will generate alerts in the event of errors or delays, it said.
Wesupply provides B2B integration and supply chain collaboration services for retailers and manufacturers. Some of its customers include Alstom Transport, Lear Corp and Cummins.
