Tesco improves communication with suppliers

New EDI platform allows more collaboration and saves time

Tesco has introduced new software to improve communication with its suppliers

Tesco is improving the management of information about its grocery and non-food suppliers via a new electronic data interchange (EDI) system.

The software ensures more collaboration between the retailer and its suppliers, while cutting down time spent manually imputing and updating data.

"Our objective is to on-board our suppliers as smoothly as possible and streamline the day to day EDI traffic benefitting both customers and suppliers,” said project manager of distribution support at Tesco, Nikki Pearson.

The software is provided by Inovis.
