Kicked off Big C’s Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and ERP Integration project between Big C and its Suppliers.

On 31/10/2017 at the headquarters of Big C, 163 Phan Dang Luu Street, Ward 1, Phu Nhuan District, HCM City, N.O.II Integrated Services and Mobile Technology Co. Ltd and Big C have kicked off Big C’s Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and ERP Integration project between Big C and its Suppliers.

Big C is managed by Central Group of Thailand. At present, Big C has 35 supermarkets/Big C supermarkets and 31 trade centers nationwide. Big C distributes more than 100,000 items through the Big C supermarket chain.  With nearly 1,300 suppliers nationwide, thousands of purchase orders and goods receipts are sent daily. Big C uses Auto fax system combined with portal to support order exchanges and goods receipt with suppliers.  However, this current system can no longer fully meet the expectations of Big C's management, as well as meeting the rapidly changing competitive requirements of the Retail industry in Vietnam.  In order to improve supply chain efficiency and to better assist suppliers working with Big C, Big C has made the decision to move forward with the implementation of EDI Technology and ERP Integration solutions. Big C has selected N.O.II is the sole provider of all EDI Integration solutions and services for Big C.

N.O.II is the complete solutions Partner of DiCentral in Vietnam.  N.O.II implements a full range of DiCentral renowned products such as DiPulse, DiMetrix, and CIP (Cloud Interchange Platform) for the implementation of EDI Integration at Big C, with DiCentral providing full Technical support to N.O.II for the deployment at Big C.

The project Kick Off had the participation of Central Group Supply Chain Manager, Big C IT Systems Manager, DiCentral's Implementation Director, N.O.II's Director and all of Big C’s departmental managers representing users of the system.  The project is expected to be delivered successfully and on time due to the large support from Big C and the professional expertise of DiCentral and N.O.II.

According to Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, director of IT Systems Big C:

“The implementation of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), ERP Integration project at Big C is an important step confirming Big C's long-term commitment to its Suppliers, enhancing Big C’s supply chain strength, enhancing professional capability, to be more dynamic and ensured data accuracy.
