Coach Rides in Style as TradeCard Bridges Gaps in the Supply Chain

By Mini Swamy, TMCnet Contributor

TradeCard, Inc. has transformed global supply chain collaboration for over 10,000 brands, retailers, suppliers and service providers operating in 78 countries by connecting brands and retailers with suppliers around the world on a single, easy-to-use global platform.


The luxury lifestyle handbags and accessories provider, Coach, has thus chosen TradeCard to manage the movements of goods and money. It made an announcement to this effect at the National Retail Federation (NRF) show being held January13 - 16, 2013 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York.

“We're extremely pleased to welcome Coach and its trading partners to the TradeCard community," said Sean Feeney, CEO at TradeCard.

The world's leading retailers and brands have been leveraging the TradeCard Platform and its member network for sourcing and global trade, as the platform delivers visibility into the movement of goods from purchase order through production tracking, shipment and payment.

Further, the company's trade global experts drive value through the platform.

"Strong trading partner relationships are essential to luxury brands, such as Coach, that work closely with high-end suppliers to compete. TradeCard bridges gaps in the supply chain to allow true collaboration in an automated environment, delivering real benefits for Coach and its trading partners,” said Feeney.

At TradeCard, buyers, suppliers and services providers share complete visibility of a single version of the supply chain that ensures goods are produced, delivered and sold optimally. Its cloud-based network enables complex, multi-enterprise sourcing transactions across multiple layers of the supply chain.

Moreover, its extended reach, supply chain visibility for customers, improved margins and cash flow, consistent business growth and streamlined supply chain from end-to-end, is a perfect fit for the luxury brand provider.

GT Nexus and TradeCard announced that the companies have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The companies are leaders and pioneers in cloud-based technology platforms that link companies together in commerce networks. Both provide – and operate – advanced business collaboration networks that the world's leading companies rely on to better manage physical and financial supply chain processes on a global scale with thousands of trading partners.
