Portal & EDI Benefits
Portals
Century will work with you to make the transmission of data as efficient as possible using your portal and Century’s portals. Through Century’s portals, you can see VMI program parameters, item master data, usage data, current inventory levels, open PO quantities, delivery dates for incoming material, and material certifications.
