چکیده
The current trend of extending operations management beyond the company’s wall focuses on the integration of suppliers and consumers into a single information network. The objective is to optimize costs and opportunities for everyone involved. However, small-sized enterprises can rarely carry the high acquisition and introduction costs of hardware and software.

It allows flexible and configurable integration with the Internet, ERP systems and the secure communication of supply chain management data.
