What Know-How does

Problem
For more than ten years we have been communicating with our customers through EDI, and since 2014 we have been using Automotive Exchange. It has become necessary to equip ourselves with a more modern communication tool, also to make up for the impossibility of communication through the EDIFACT protocol.

Solution
Supplier Exchange implementation – Supplier web: portal for dialoguing with suppliers, publishing purchase orders and creating a flow for the automatic receipt of information and for automatic deliveries.

Benefits
Evident benefits from an economic and organizational point of view: reduction of communication time and more efficient communication.

“We found a partner capable of supporting our requests with excellent reaction times. This made us decide to choose this company as system integrator of the Groeneveld Group, also for the migration to LN of subsidiaries around the world.”
