HoReCa
well served with EDI!
In few other industries are the demands for freshness and quality as high as in the food service sector—after all, it's all about food. To meet these demands, precise and demand-based goods delivery is required. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) proves to be an essential ingredient here, guaranteeing optimal processes for food supply.

Efficient food service: quality and sustainability in focus
Demand-based meal provision plays a major role not only in classic hotel and restaurant operations but also in many other areas such as healthcare, education, corporate cafeterias, and catering. These different sectors have one thing in common: numerous specifications for fresh and high-quality meals. To ensure this, many administrative and organizational processes must be coordinated so that goods can be processed into meals on time and with optimal quality. Electronic Data Interchange enables a reliable and efficient interplay of all participants in the supply chain, leading to significant resource savings and ultimately a decisive competitive advantage.
Increase efficiency, reduce costs – the many benefits of EDI
Lower administrative costs
Automation reduces the workload for processing orders, despatch advices, and invoices, leading to a significant relief from manual tasks in the back office.
Precise inventory management
Real-time updates maintain optimal inventory levels. This reduces overstock and waste, as inventories are precisely aligned with current demand.
Better supplier relationships
EDI accelerates the information exchange between business partners, allowing for faster order processing. This significantly increases flexibility during bottlenecks or delivery adjustments.
LMIV-compliant
Access to current product master data and LMIV-relevant product data such as allergens and nutritional values enables precise recipe adjustments and ensures compliance with legal requirements.
Seasonal flexibility
EDI helps in adapting to seasonal fluctuations by optimizing communication with suppliers and managing inventory accordingly.
Transparent supply chain
EDI ensures traceability and transparency throughout the entire supply chain. Product data such as origin, batches, and processing procedures are exchanged automatically.
