Secure file transfer at P&G

As part of its ongoing initiative to be a supply chain leader and optimize trading partner relationships, consumer products leader Procter & Gamble (P&G) uses Axway’s business-to-business (B2B) solution for their external managed file transfers (MFT). The solution delivers secure file transfer with real-time visibility and control, improving communication within and outside P&G. It also offers the agility P&G needs to respond quickly to changes in its supply chain. Currently, orders, invoices, shipment notifications and other message files flow through the Axway gateway daily at P&G, for a total of more than one million files per month — all of which must be processed automatically and on time for business to flow. Transmission failures and system downtime would interrupt P&G’s entire supply chain, negatively impacting production and revenue.
