VAN technology has been helping companies better manage their supply chain for decades. However, many experience issues that impact their bottom-line, including:
- Unsatisfactory customer service and slow problem resolution
- An unreliable network with too much downtime
- Outdated, inflexible platform and technology
- Cumbersome onboarding of new trading partners
- Manual, time-intensive tracking of exceptions and costly errors
- Confusing fee structure with unexpected charges
That’s why you want to be sure you are using the VAN that is the most reliable, efficient and cost-effective. According to a 2012 survey conducted for Liaison Technologies of approximately 400 VAN users, there are several key criteria that businesses consider when selecting a VAN:
- Customer support and responsiveness
- Vendor technical support and capabilities
- Ease of migration
- Lower overall prices
