Schwartauer Werke Enhances EDI Processes with OpenText
In an essential move to bolster its operations, Schwartauer Werke, a prominent player in the food supply sector in Germany, has adopted OpenText™ B2B Integration Essentials. With over 1,000 employees, Schwartauer Werke aims to modernize its Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processes, establishing a strategic position to tackle the increasingly complex landscape of supply chains.
For more than 135 years, this pioneer in food manufacturing and retail supply has experienced significant changes in its operational environment. A recent challenge arose when its previous EDI provider ceased services after being acquired, prompting Schwartauer Werke to seek a robust and agile solution to maintain its competitive edge. Understanding the importance of having a reliable provider, the company turned to OpenText, with the confidence that this adoption would not only meet but exceed the expectations concerning document exchanges with large buyers and vendors.
Companies like Schwartauer Werke face significant headwinds from various market demands and shifts. To navigate these challenges effectively, the integration of cloud-based systems is crucial, allowing for streamlined supply chains and agile financial processes. This newfound agility enables suppliers to adjust their processes as required, ultimately ensuring fast delivery of products to customers, new markets, and various channels.
