B2BGateway and GS1 Ireland Help Cloverhill Food Ingredients Ltd. Improve Their Supply Chain Efficiencies
Cloverhill Food Ingredients, Ltd., partners with B2BGateway and GS1 Ireland to automate and improve their supply productivity.
Shannon, Ireland, February 02, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Cloverhill Food Ingredients, Ltd., one of Ireland’s leading food ingredient suppliers to retail, dairy, meat and food manufacturing companies, partners with B2BGateway and GS1 Ireland to automate and improve their supply chain productivity.
With a large, diverse product line and large volume of orders to meet on a daily basis, Cloverhill Food Ingredients Ltd. needed to automate and improve their supply chain efficiencies when selling to large scale retailers such as the Musgrave Group. On the advice of their IT consultants, Pims Business Systems, Cloverhill contacted B2BGateway to develop an automated EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) solution that would integrate fully with their Sage 200 ERP suite.
Cloverhill carries a sku line range of over 2,500 products and needed barcodes and product identifiers for all stock items sold. B2BGateway recommended that Cloverhill source their barcodes and GTIN’s from GS1 Ireland. GS1 is a leading global organization dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve efficiency and visibility in supply and demand chains globally. Using Eancom standards and the GTIN numbers supplied by GS1, B2BGateway was able to automate the entire electronic data flow of orders, invoices and shipping notices between Cloverhill Food Ingredients and its vendors.
Having an EDI solution that is fully integrated with Cloverhill’s Sage 200 business management suite greatly improved Cloverhill’s supply chain efficiencies and drastically cut down on costs. As everything is now automated, the Cloverhill staff no longer have to re-key orders into Sage and this leads to greater accuracy of data, shorter order to payment cycles and the freeing up of staff resources from mundane tasks such as manual order entry. Having a fully integrated EDI solution with the proper standards and GTIN’s allows Cloverhill Food Ingredients to win more contracts from other large Retail and Distribution Groups.
“The B2BGateway cloud-based EDI solution is really easy to use, as easy as sending emails,” said Cloverhill’s CFO, Dan Neville. “Having EDI set up with the correct data standards and GTIN’s means we now tick all the right boxes to supply all the large retail multiples throughout Europe and further afield.”
