There are various possibilities and filters available when searching for companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log in to the ITscope Online Platform<\/a> and click the ‘Companies’<\/strong> button on the side bar on the left – see screenshot below (1)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The search bar (2)<\/strong> can also be used to search for companies, in addition to products. Clicking on the search bar will reveal your last viewed companies (in the ‘Last companies’ section).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drop-down filters allow the following filtering options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a) Role (manufacturer, distributor)
b) Country 
c) Shipping region
d) Partner (distributors, end customers, suppliers)
e) Provided eServices (order, price list, custom delivery note, real-time, ESD licence order, project list)
f) Activated eServices (drop shipment, real-time, price list, ordering)
g) EDI service (yes\/no)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you select ‘Role’<\/strong> (a), companies are displayed according to company type (manufacturer or distributor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you select ‘Country’<\/strong> (b), companies are filtered according to country of origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selecting ‘Shipping region’<\/strong> (c) will filter companies based on the supply region covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Partner’<\/strong> option (d) filters companies according to their partnership status with you, in the following categories: distributors, end customers and suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filter ‘Provided eServices’<\/strong> (e) gives you the possibility to filter companies according to the eServices made available by the company. The following options are available here: order, price list, custom delivery note, real-time, ESD licence order, project list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By selecting ‘Activated eServices’<\/strong> (f), the results are filtered according to whether the eServices listed above have been activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘EDI Service’<\/strong> option (g) allows you to filter for distributors that either provide an EDI ordering interface or do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use these different filters to define your search criteria and influence the search results accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, we would like to highlight a convenient way to see which suppliers offer what eServices, a feature that is highly appreciated by ITscope users. As the individual configuration options (eServices) are colour-coded, it is easy to visually check whether an eService is available and correctly configured (3)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symbols displayed next to the eServices have the following meanings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
