Bridge Gaps Between Procurement and IT Teams with Advance Ship Notices (ASN)
Advance Ship Notices (ASNs) are more than just shipping updates—they are essential tools for creating clear communication between Procurement and IT teams. ASNs provide detailed information about shipments in transit, ensuring that IT assets are accurately tracked, received, and deployed without delays or confusion. This webinar will explore how ASNs can prevent costly mistakes, contribute to better asset management, and foster better collaboration between teams.

2. Real-Time Coordination Between Procurement and IT: Learn how ASNs enable Procurement to track orders in real-time while keeping IT informed, allowing IT to prepare for and deploy incoming equipment efficiently. We’ll also discuss the importance of integrating ASNs with IT Asset Management (ITAM) tools and the benefits of having visibility into equipment shipped to remote users—eliminating the need to chase suppliers for updates.
3. Preventing Delays and Mistakes: Explore how ASNs can help both Procurement and IT teams catch issues early, such as incorrect orders or delayed shipments, reducing surprises and wasted time.
4. Enhanced Asset Tracking: Discover how ASN details help IT update asset management systems with key information like serial numbers and specifications before the assets arrive, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
