F4F’s business solutions enable companies to exploit fast internet access, flexible file formats and state-of-the-art application development tools to simplify and accelerate the movement of information between systems. Whether you are looking to do this internally between separate back-office systems, externally with trading partners, or both, F4F can offer you a proven, industrial strength portfolio of solutions. 

The solutions we provide deliver value in both discrete and cross-market supply chains, and indeed within a company’s own IT systems architecture.  Our fully configurable toolset, which aligns the latest technology with your business processes, is a fast and powerful way to drive efficiency within your organisation and across your supply chain.

The key things you should know about F4F’s business solutions are that they are:

Open to all companies, whatever their previous involvement in B2B

Some companies hesitate to embark upon the opportunity because they, or their trading partners, are put off by apparent barriers, such as:

• “We already use another trading hub”
• “We have already invested in EDI” 
• “We can’t / don’t want to import documents into our IT system”
• “We’re not ready for B2B yet”
• “There’s no benefit in it for us”

In fact F4F’s B2B Platform enables you to connect with trading partners who have been doing B2B for years and those who have never even considered it by means of the sheer variety of the methods of participation.

Scalable

If you have a particular business problem to solve right now, but are not yet ready for full scale B2B, the modular nature of the F4F toolset means that you can invest in a small way to start with, and exploit the technical capability you have acquired at a time when the business case can be made.

Safe to use and highly resilient

What is the greatest fear of any IT manager? In our experience it is the unavailability of any part of the IT infrastructure which supports the day-to-day operation of the business. For that reason F4F has invested heavily in the architecture and services necessary to remove those operational worries and let you focus on the areas in which you can add even more value to your business.
