ERM includes the automation and optimization of all types of relations between Company and External Agents through its power and simplicity. It is fully adaptable to the needs of the company, thanks to the ability to change those relationships into processes within a BPMS model without the need of IT programming. This was not possible before BPMS applications offered the ability to design processes without the aid of expert IT staff. AuraPortal is a pioneer in this innovation and therefore it is the best option to undertake in managing the processes of such activities.

Thus, Process Tasks flow between all departments of the company, reaching providers and suppliers, distributors, sales agents, indirect channels, customers, etc. This creates a cohesive environment in the actions taken and normalizes the results of the entire supply chain.

External Portals

Moreover, Regulations, both internal and mandatory, are expressed in BPM Processes and Business Rules, and will be transmitted automatically throughout the supply chain. Also, by using Monitoring capabilities, compliance to regulations can be monitored (including their characteristics, conditions and times.) constantly.
