BAA adopts Burns online e-Commerce system
BAA, one of the world's leading airport companies, has announced the adoption of a Business Exchange (beX) electronic purchase-to-pay system from Burns e-Commerce Solutions.
The system will be used to handle the trading service for BAA’s 1,500 regular suppliers with whom BAA currently spend over £1billion a year on goods, works, and numerous other services amounting to approximately 100,000 purchase orders each year.
Burns will rollout the web-based beX service to BAA's supplier base from November this year following a successful pilot phase with a group of key suppliers, including AMEC, Dewhirst Corporate Clothing and Edmundson Electrical, which is already underway.
The modular rollout, which will involve groups of 40 suppliers at a time, is on schedule for completion by mid-2002, when all 1,500 suppliers will be trading online with BAA.
The service provided by beX is a web-based managed service that quickly allows a company to trade electronically, with its suppliers, regardless of their size or technical ability. BAA's suppliers will be able to access beX over the internet via a browser that is tailored to match BAA's individual trading needs.
In the past BAA has traded electronically with one major supplier using EDI whilst the remainder have relied on fax messages. The only technology capabilities each supplier needs are a PC, internet access and email access. (SP)
