Technology

Alder enjoys a Technology Edge that pays big dividend to supplier partners. The Edge derives from deep knowledge of Military legacy systems, as well as the flexibility and agility to deal with rapidly changing requirements. Armed with those abilities, Alder’s tech team deploys tools that create real competitive advantage.

The back-office team at Alder has an average of 15 years of tenure. The Military Resale legacy system expertise that results is broad and deep, translating into sharp execution and pinpoint troubleshooting for orders, deliveries, inventory and accounts receivable throughout the military resale supply chain.

This is a period of rapid change for Military Resale IT/IS. Many legacy systems are being rewritten and/or replaced, some with completely different platforms. Alder Flexibility and Agility are manifested by smart choices and investments in forward looking technology (e.g. EDI, AS2, GDSN, EBS, BI), and the ability to create cutting edge tools for our Sales Team and for our Order Management Team.
