Alza introduces electronic data interchange (EDI)

The biggest Czech online retailer fully launched the process of introducing electronic communication EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for more efficient exchange of business documents with its suppliers. In addition to accelerating and streamlining the exchange of business documents, this innovative process also allows for substantial savings with regards to the environment.

Alza’s introduction of electronic documentation includes invoices (INVOIC), orders (ORDERS) and deliveries advice (DESADV), the electronic equivalent of a paper delivery note. In the first phase, which lasted for less than two months, it was possible to seamlessly engage 30% of suppliers, representing more than 50% of orders and over 40% of supplier invoices that were, in this short time, converted from paper to electronic format via ORION EDI solution from CCV Information Systems.

Alza.cz selected ORION EDI based on many years of experience of CCV Information Systems in the area of electronic invoicing and electronic exchange of documents and the related number of references form large customers. From the position of the leader in internet sales, it chose the domestic leader in the field of EDI services.
