MORE INFO: Multi-tiered e-Trading Communities LPA Inc, a leading provider of planning optimisation and web-enabled solutions for service industries announced its LPATrade service that creates multi-tiered e-Trading Communities in select vertical markets... These communities will enable the balancing, sharing, sourcing and disposing of service parts inventory in the aviation telecommunications, high tech, rail and utilities industries. This gives companies control of who they trade with and allows them to source from within their own business before making outside purchases. At tier one, LPATrade consolidates sourcing and balances inventory across a company's multiple location and business units worldwide. Tier two extends this network to a private trading community of trusted trading partners selected by the customer. Tier three supports commerce within an industry-focused vertical net marketplace and tier four enables web-wide global exchanges. LPA takes an active role in helping companies to integrate across all relevant systems with the appropriate security and controls. Contact LPASoftware. Tel: 01635 552215
