METRO-NOM provides IT services for METRO AG (in particular METRO/MAKRO Cash&Carry). Metro AG is one of the largest and the most important international retail and wholesale companies.
The company employs more than 150.000 members of staff and generates sales of approximately €37,140 million and EBIT €1,106 million. The company is represented in 35 countries.
The interchange of business information and paper documents between a retail chain and its suppliers entails high costs of processing large amounts of data and errors arising from, for instance, the ’human factor’ of document handling. In this case, the implementation of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) was a logical way to improve business communication.
METRO-NOM decided to migrate to the Comarch solutions because of business opportunities related to an advanced Comarch EDI solution, which replaced the previous tool utilized by the company.
METRO-NOM was looking for a strategic partner who would supply a cutting-edge EDI transaction platform for managing business partners and transferring the business information. The supply goal was to achieve best-in-class service in conjunction with competitive pricing and improved functionality. Additionally, METRO-NOM expected to work with a partner who has the capability to improve the relationship and the scale to meet the dynamic nature of their business, including performing these services on a global basis.
The EDI project at METRO covered two areas:
1. The migration of the EDI services from the former provider to Comarch EDI.
2. Continuous Managed EDI Services for METRO-NOM.
The migration phase was successfully accomplished one year after the start of the project and from that moment METRO EDI infrastructure for 24 countries and 35 sales lines is managed by the Comarch team.
