Introducing EDI and ERP integration of Big C
The global retail industry has changed a lot over the past 20 years, changing from business model, business size, advertisement method, and especially in supply chain optimization to increase profitability on each product. In Vietnam, the retail industry has become vibrant since year 2007. However, supply chain cost optimization has only been of interest recently, especially in the mode of exchange of documents such as Orders, Delivery Orders, Order Change, Invoices, Delivery, inventory information of the purchaser ....
In Vietnam, almost the transaction of these documents is done manually, so purchaser and seller often encounter specific obstacles as follows:
- Consume human resources and spend to maintain such transactions
- Data errors caused by manual entry
- Such transaction take much time
- Both Seller and Purchaser face disficulty in expanding the bussiness
Big C is a large-scale retail enterprise in Vietnam. After Big C is transferred to Central, one of the largest retail groups in Thailand and in the world, Big C will be comprehensively upgraded. One of the most important content is supply chain improvement, which will begin with the application of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) technology to automate transactions between Big C and its suppliers.
