A New Standard in Food Manufacturing: Harvest Food Group
In the realm of food and beverage manufacturing,
Harvest Food Group (HFG) has taken a significant leap forward by adopting the innovative
GR8T EDI Passport from GR Technology, paired with Rockwell Automation's Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform. This decision marks a departure from traditional electronic data interchange (EDI) approaches reliant on Trading Partner functionalities and Value-Added Networks (VANs). HFG's new strategy focuses on enhancing partner connectivity and streamlining shipping processes.
Transforming EDI Workflows
The GR8T EDI Passport introduces a simpler and more efficient way to handle EDI workflows. By utilizing powerful application programming interfaces (APIs), it not only saves costs but significantly optimizes the entire order management process. Following the implementation of this technology, HFG reported a boost in their operational efficiency, characterized by faster order-to-cash cycles and increased compliance among their diverse supplier base. This advancement has greatly improved their inventory management and accelerated the fulfillment of orders, making them more agile in response to customer needs.
Jenny Crimmins, Senior Business Systems Analyst at HFG, emphasized the importance of quality in their supply chain processes. She stated, "Third-party logistics can be a time-consuming and complex process. From meeting specific vendor requirements to ensuring quality standards, everything must align perfectly for our products to reach our customers. Speed should never come at the expense of quality—and with a solution like the GR8T EDI Passport, we now have the flexibility to work with more vendors and customers, continuing to deliver the trusted products that have earned us our reputation."
