Unilever pic, the consumer products giant with such brands as Dove soap, Close-Up toothpaste, Q-tips, and Helene Curtis hair products, introduced such a Level 3 system when it linked subsidiary companies with contract manufacturers. Unilever places orders electronically and the contractors use the Unilever extranet to update order status, make changes, expedite orders, and review shipments. Status reports are fed into Unilever s internal warehouse management and logistics systems in real time so Unilever can quickly coordinate the delivery of goods to retailers (Semilof, 2001, p. 1). This system replaces a legacy system that entered orders piecemeal via the phone, e-mail, and fax, and where all transactions had to be entered manually into the firm s supply chain management applications.
