Implementation of Comarch EDI at Balconi

Business objective

After starting a process of rapid expansion of its busi-ness on the European market, Balconi was looking for a partner that could support them to manage EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) Document Flows with several years of experience at a global level and that was able to activate the exchange of EDI messages with main European retailers, especially North European ones, under a tight schedule.

Comarch was the natural choice: with its interna-tional experience and presence, Comarch could rely on a close network of EDI relations already existing with leading retailers at a global level. Therefore, in 2016 Balconi and Comarch signed a collaboration for the implementation of a EDI project that have been active for years in Italy and in Europe.

Implemented solution – Comarch EDI

Fast-paced commercial activities in confectionery industry imposed a very tight schedule for the de-velopment and implementation of the solution. In any case, the dedicated and skilled team of Comarch experts managed to start the project in due time, ensuring the continuity products supply to all business partners.

Comarch EDI enables Balconi to manage the com-plex exchange of EDI messages (ORDERS, DESADV, INVOIC, APERAK) with partners in Italy and mostly in Europe. The solution was tailored on client’s needs in order to grant the integration with the existing management system. In fact, Comarch EDI sim-plifies the management of all specific EDI formats required by different business partners, transmitting and translating them directly into client’s manage-ment system.
