EDI for Kröswang via eXite®
Fresh food logistics via eXite® at restaurants and hotels
The situation
Kröswang’s range of high-quality fresh and frozen food products totals 2,000 items. These perishable foods are delivered to restaurant and hotel clients and require special storage and delivery processes. This is one of the reasons why the delivery time for all 240,000 annual orders is 24 hours. To make these time-sensitive logistics processes happen, it is essential for Kröswang to receive order data swiftly and to process it correctly.
Order data in real time via eXite®
This is where the EDI platform eXite® comes in. Kröswang relies on it to electronically handle numerous business documents (orders, despatch advices, orders) both with restaurant clients and preliminary suppliers. In addition, Kröswang provides article master data in real time to its clients, which include Falkensteiner Hotels, Sodexo, Österreichische Mensen and XXXLutz Restaurants. The company plans to add information relevant for the EU food information regulation, such as allergens and nutritional value, in the near future.
Our top priority is providing excellent service to our clients. Want we need are solutions that integrate seamlessly into our existing processes. For many years, we have successfully been relying on eXite® to exchange business data with our clients and business partners. Mag. Manfred Kröswang, CEO.
Efficient data integration
During the implementation phase, Kröswang benefitted from the fact that the internal ERP system by CSB included an integrated interface to eXite®. This made it easy to provide new partners with electronic data as well as to receive electronic data from them. In addition, invoices to agencies of the federal government are now issued automatically thanks to CSB and eXite®. This approach has dramatically decreased manual work at Kröswang while increasing delivery quality.
