EDI in HORECA
About the industry
The hotel, restaurant and catering industry is one of the most multi-faceted industries. Food and beverage services are widely available, whether it’s in tourism (hotels), health care (hospital catering), academia (university cafeterias) or other organizations (corporate cafeterias, catering). Each and every day, restaurants, hotels, restaurant chains, cash & carry businesses and many other companies order, deliver or process foodstuffs as well as many other consumer goods they need, e.g. personal hygiene articles.
Industry challenges
Efficient and reliable processes regarding the replenishment of goods are a make-or-break factor for any business in this industry. In order to use these products to create high-quality dishes at the desired time, a large number of administrative and organizational processes have to be coordinated.
