In today’s world efficiency and connectivity have become prerequisites to carry out business. Globalisation is pushing industries of any kind and size to act as world wide global players. Industries buy and sell all over the world. Supply chains today are complex networks where members are heterogeneous: parts and component manufacturers but also Logistic and Financial Service Providers. AcrossLimits offers a solution for this globalisation phenomenon. The FLUID-WIN platform ensures the seamless integration of 3rd party service providers with their manufacturing networks, based on easy-to-use electronic services, with the innovative B2(B2B) approach. FLUID-WIN eases complex networks, constituted by diverse companies of several industrial sectors such as manufacturing, finance and logistics, by offering a solution that facilitates their work and improve the performance and efficiency. When the majority of the network members belong to the EU 27, synchronisation can be easier. Using this chance, EU-based networks can compete with networks that take advantage of low labour cost countries such as Far East countries. Achievements: • Reduced order processing and feedback time • Better access to trade financial instruments for manufacturers • Cut down conventional ways of communication to save money • Streamlined human resources to minimize cost • Lowered cost of warehousing and transportation • Reduced non-conformity of logistic services
