Unfortunately, cybercriminals continue to gain access to corporate IT infrastructure, encrypt data, and then demand large sums of money to "decrypt" it. The impact on affected companies is devastating! It often takes several months before they can operate as they did before the attack.Even if your company has planned for this eventuality: What if one of your key suppliers is affected? How long can you produce without them? How can you continue to manage the relationship if EDI is down and email is out?True to the motto "better safe than sorry", we at SupplyOn offer our customers the creation of an emergency plan for such cases - before the disaster strikes. The aim of the plan is to implement and support an orderly and monitored cooperation with the affected companies within 24 hours. All order types such as JIT/JIS, orders, KANBAN or VMI, etc. can be integrated.In the first step, our experts work with the client to develop a customized contingency plan and define the necessary adjustments and actions. The second step is to define the preparations for the emergency. Once all the necessary actions have been defined, the plans are communicated - in paper form, of course - along with all the key contact information. This ensures that the right people in your organization are notified in the event of an emergency, for example, via their personal cell phones.In the event of an emergency, you and the supplier concerned initiate immediate measures and determine the next steps together with SupplyOn. This includes the immediate registration and activation of the supplier on the SupplyOn platform as well as the transfer of open and current orders and delivery schedules to the Supply Chain Collaboration solution.
