The Meggle Group has now created a new distribution network that goes all the way to Italy, Slovakia, Germany and Austria. Patrik Krissak, Logistics Project Manager at Rajo, commented on the project: “We were looking for a fully automated merchandise delivery process via EDI from the manufacturing facilities of Meggle subsidiaries MEGGLE Slovakia (Rajo), SalzburgMilch Austria and Meggle Germany for Meggle Italy and its logistics partner DACHSER. Since we had already expanded the existing EDI infrastructure with our EDI partner of many years, it made sense for us to entrust them with this project,” said Mr. Krissak.
"The challenge was to connect all five involved partners as efficiently as possible via EDI and to allow for smooth and need-based merchandise delivery. The most important tool to achieve this was the integration of the electronic despatch advice, DESADV". Štefan Sádovsky, managing director of EDITEL Slovakia
These despatch advices are now created automatically in the supplier’s SAP ERP system, transferred in real time via eXite®, the EDI service by EDITEL, to Meggle Italy and DACHSER and then automatically processed in their ERP systems. This approach helps detect delivery-related mistakes immediately and correct them, which saves time and money and makes the underlying invoicing process easier than before.
"Thanks to the technical expertise of EDITEL we were able to quickly and easily centralize complex data flows between several plants and our subsidiary Meggle Italy and to integrate our external logistics partner DACHSER in no time. EDITEL is our first choice for EDI projects now and in the future." Patrick Krissak, Logistics Project Manager at MEGGLE Slovakia (Rajo)
