AMERSFOORT, Netherlands, 2012-10-24 12:45 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting
logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Delta Mossel, one of
the largest mussel and oyster suppliers in Europe, has automated its operations
with electronic communication that meets the compliance requirements of its
retail customers using a combined solution from Descartes and partner, Schouw
Informatisering.
The European food and beverage industry is highly standardized when it comes to
the communication of order, delivery, and invoice information. An increasing
number of retailers, supermarket retailers in particular, only do business with
companies that handle orders and invoices using electronic data interchange
(EDI). This requires suppliers, like Delta Mossel, to be EDI compliant in order
to exchange the required data and business documents with its customers. As
leading technology organizations serving the food retail industry, Schouw and
Descartes have developed an integrated EDI solution model that can be
implemented rapidly.
'We are continuously looking for new ways to innovate. The close collaboration
between Descartes and Schouw allowed us to transform our operations by
implementing Microsoft Dynamics NAV(r) and SI Foodware(r) for enterprise
resource
planning (ERP) combined with Descartes' Go-secure business-to-business (B2B)
connectivity service,' said Carolein van de Plasse, Sales Manager at Delta
Mossel. 'The joint solution has enabled us to eliminate many manual procedures,
such as order processing using fax and telephone. It is helping us to better
service existing customers, as well as generate more business. Our new
capability to deliver to the automated DC-Fresh distribution center of
Delhaize, a leading grocery chain in Belgium, is just one concrete example.'
'The combined solution levels the communications playing field for suppliers of
all sizes to be able to meet the requirements of enterprises demanding
EDI-driven communication,' said Danny Cevaal, Commercial Manager at Schouw
Informatisering. 'Both Schouw and Descartes contributed considerable domain
expertise leading to a solution that is reliable, user-friendly, and quickly
delivers value.'
'For leading companies, like Delta Mossel, the ability to communicate
electronically to customers not only contributes to streamlined operations by
reducing manual process and inaccuracies, but is a driver for growth,' said
Fred van der Heide, Vice President of Product Strategy at Descartes. 'We are
pleased that the collaboration with Schouw has resulted in a combined solution
that is delivering value for Delta Mossel and the industry.'
