When two becomes one
The Czech logistics service provider C.S.CARGO focuses on those industries that could no longer do without EDI: the automotive and FMCG industries. An increasingly important requirement in these industries is flexibility for handling different file formats and communication protocols. In the past, C.S.CARGO oftentimes did not have this flexibility because the company relied on two separate platforms for data exchange which each had different requirements and limitations.
The solution was the use of a single platform that can handle current and future client needs regarding different data formats. The Sterling B2B Integrator by IBM does exactly that by allowing the integration of B2B processes involving several partners. Customer advisor Robert Matras works at the Czech EDITEL subsidiary and assists C.S.CARGO in migrating all existing EDI processes to the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator platform: “Functions such as EDI mapping and Business Process Modelling offered by the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator make it easy for us to implement highly specific customer requirements with maximum flexibility,” he said.
“We are positive that the IBM Sterling B2B Integrator meets our requirements and hopefully it will become our strategic tool for facing all integration-related challenges in the future”. Libor Maňásek, CIO of C.S.CARGO
