Outage Details

Dear customer, We have received notice of an issue by our email provider that is impacting a group of customers with regards to email order delivery to suppliers. We have acted by escalating the issue to Mimecast and are engaged with them to find a prompt resolution. While we can confirm that the problem is intermittent, it has the potential to affect email orders made on our Inventory, Purchase to Pay (Tradesimple), and Purchasing and Inventory (Adaco) solutions. If your supplier’s preferred method of order placement is EMAIL, we strongly recommend contacting the supplier directly to confirm receipt. There may also be signs such as delayed confirmation of orders, goods received notes, or unprocessed documents related to the order confirmation. In these situations, it is highly recommended that you contact the supplier directly and make alternative arrangements. We will provide an update as soon as we receive further information from Mimecast. Thank you for your patience.
