An introduction to Celtrino Express from Ken Halpin

The latest innovation from Celtrino is the new Celtrino Express platform designed to improve supply chain performance by reducing the administrative costs associated with business document transfer. Celtrino Express is a web based trading partner portal which allows for audited document transfer ensuring that critical information gets to the correct party whilst being as simple to use as popular websites like Facebook.

Celtrino Express allows businesses to create their own online trading community simply and quickly, and then customise the relationships to meet their specific needs. The transparent audit trails allows all interested and authorised parties to accurately track the status of any document transaction without needing to manually intervene and make requests of their partners.

One potential use of Celtrino Express is for the distribution and processing of invoices. One of our existing users reports that the efficiencies created by Celtrino Express has resulted in an 80% reduction in their direct invoicing costs; these savings are probably even greater when workload human resource usage reductions are factored in.

The ability to create trading communities within Celtrino Express is particularly exciting as any business can be a member of any number of partnerships and supply chains thanks to the scalable nature of the system. Users can quickly and easily invite any number of trading partners to their community making Celtrino Express suitable for use by organisations of any size and allowing a democratised sharing of benefits and savings between all community members.

Documents are printed directly to Celtrino Express, preventing ‘hiding in the long grass’ as information is transferred securely, with automated receipt and read status confirmations which ensure that the data has reached the correct party every single time. The Celtrino Express marketplace also allows for the development and purchase of modules designed to extend and enhance the core functionality of the platform, and providing additional customisation options to match the exact needs of your business.

Business document transactions may not be sexy, but thanks to the simplicity, extensibility and community-based features of Celtrino Express they can be a whole lot more efficient and a whole lot less expensive.

    [...] Celtrino Express works on the principle that supply chains function as a self-contained community with trading partners assuming control of the relationships and managing the community interaction themselves. “The community-based approach of Celtrino Express means that virtually any business can interact directly with their partners, regardless of headcount or resources – every member of a Celtrino Express community has access to exactly the same tools and functions, helping to democratise the trading process and allowing even the smallest businesses to compete and deal with multi-national conglomerates,” explained Behan.
