TAKE Solutions Ltd. has made available version 7.1 of OneSCM, the vendor's online collaboration suite for trading partners looking to manage their supply-chain operations. The update introduces a mobile applications framework which integrates with smartphones and tablets for immediate data access, sharing and transaction activity in real time. OneSCM 7.1 supports both .NET and Java architectures, and is now available in a variety of delivery models, including on-premise, hosted, software-as-a-service (SaaS) or hybrid. The new framework draws on .NET mobile controls to extend OneSCM collaboration applications on multiple mobile platforms, making apps fully compatible with mobile operating systems. The result, claimed TAKE, is better support of customers' supply-chain activities at the work site or on the go. Such tasks as processing work orders and checking invoice status can be done remotely and securely, at any time. The new version features pre-configured data mapping in native Extensible Markup Language (XML) that is fully compliant with W3 XSD standards. OneSCM 7.1 supports interaction between trading partners using a variety of messaging formats, including RosettaNet PIPs, OAGI DTDs, Petroleum Industry Data Exchange, ANSI X12 EDI, EDIFACT and IDOCS. Supplier on-boarding enhancements include smart search and validation algorithms to manage vendor master data. Document and certification capabilities allow suppliers to electronically submit required certificates and other attachments for supplier approvals.
