If a salesman receives only a handful of orders daily, it is possible to manage this agenda with a certain effort "manually". In such a case, they order their goods directly from the supplier. If, however, the number of orders is in tens or hundreds daily, they start ordering from the LSP due to the disproportionate administrative burden. In such a case, without structured data interchange (EDI), communication soon becomes a mess, poor deliveries and inaccuracies occur, with which costs and additional administration are associated. When exchanging documents, it is necessary to take into account all possible events and have all involved processes solved in order to avoid errors and delays.

EDI for logistics

A clear way out of this situation was for the company ALIMPEX FOOD an introduction of structured electronic communication with their customers. The EDI solution for logistics was chosen, which is in all respects adapted to the field of logistics.

The solution is tailored to logistics and covers a number of specific functions that reflect the operation of a logistics company. Thanks to the EDI for logistics solution, Alimpex Food has sped up and clarified information interchange, eliminated error rate, reduced administration and subsequently significantly saved time and operational costs, especially in the following logistics processes: receipt and warehousing of goods, inventory overview, stocktaking, handling and warehouse movements, shipping, returns and co-packing.
