Simplain Vendor Portal was selected by SmartBrief for the Innovation Awards in AI 2024. Several major retailers and wholesalers use this platform to streamline their vendor collaboration activities and achieve better data accuracy and productivity.
Retailers and wholesalers use Simplain Vendor Portal for new vendor registration, item introduction, cost management, deals & promotions management, rebate billing, order confirmation, invoice management and DSD management. The workflow driven platform provides better vendor accountability, data quality, productivity and speed to market.
The solution is now rich with new AI features such as Intelligent Document Processing(IDP), Semantic Search, Anomaly detection and other natural language(NLP) features that enhance the user experience. The integrations are coded within the platform and embedded in every module, accessible for every user at all times.
For example, the IDP function accelerates the vendor onboarding and item introduction processes. Once the vendors upload their scanned identification or financial documents, relevant information will be filled to the following rank and available for reviews immediately. The NLP features enable the end users to operate in multiple languages and in a conversational manner.
The semantic search and anomaly detection features are crucial for managing SKU numbers in bulks. The multilingual semantic search supports analysis and suggestions for item attributions, providing category managers groups and subcategories an item might belong to based on previous data entries. While adding attributes, the anomaly detection will alert users to possible duplicates and like items, as well as attributes that don’t fit the general descriptions. Together, these functionalities ensure better data quality and efficiency, holistically enhancing the item management process.
Aside from deploying NLP techniques, Simplain also constantly explores the possibilities of deploying Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—where AI processes data and imitates the process of thinking. Simplain would utilize AGI to better understand user intentions and create a conversational user experience, optimizing and streamlining vendor collaboration relationships. With constant research and trials, Simplain aims to incorporate the newest AI innovations that benefit vendor collaborations in the Simplain Vendor Portal while maintaining the same consistent and dependable user experience.
