BWG Foods uses Atlas application in the cloud to fully automate supply chain
Like many retailers BWG had achieved only partial EDI enablement with its supply chain.
BWG distributes a comprehensive range of ambient goods to its group including Spar, Eurospar, Mace and Valuecentre. It also operates a nationwide chain of cash and carries and a national food services division trading BWG Food Service.
Seeking to achieve operational efficiencies in its buying, supply chain and finance functions, it consulted the retail industry’s ebusiness experts – Atlas.
As a result BWG will be achieving 100% EDI enablement and 100% price matching through the use of its’ Atlas solution.
BWG has entrusted Atlas to drive its EDI roll out using Atlas’ proven Supplier Adoption Programme. This comprises a proactive and comprehensive communications exercise and offers suppliers the opportunity to trade electronically using either traditional EDI or Atlas’ easy-to-use web solution, branded for BWG as BWG TradeLink.
TradeLink allows suppliers to upload or type in their invoices and credit notes, to be matched to goods received notes or cost cards, without the need for EDI technology to be in place. Suppliers will also be able to upload or key in their product catalogue and price information where it is matched against BWG cost cards using Atlas’ Price Matching application in the cloud.
The Atlas solution delivers significant cost savings and efficiencies throughout the supply chain.
