The contract builds on Kewill's existing relationship with Sainsbury's whereby Goods For Resale (GFR) and Goods Not For Resale (GNFR) suppliers have been electronically enabled via Kewill Trade, an Internet based order management solution.
The business drivers for deploying the solution are: To allow Sainsbury's to send orders to their GNFR suppliers who currently receive orders via fax, telephone, or e-mail with no change to Sainsbury's internal systems.
To allow suppliers to view orders from Sainsbury's over the Internet.
To enable suppliers to create invoices and send them to Sainsbury's electronically via the Internet.
"Kewill Trade is continuing to help us reduce the time consuming and resource intensive administration processes as invoices are re-keyed", explains John Green, Head of Procurement, at Sainsbury's.
"The system enables us to streamline our business and system processes and reduce inaccuracies and delays in order fulfilment thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our supply chain operations.
Sainsbury's has experienced significant cost savings in its GFR and GNFR supply chain operations for a number of years through the use of the Kewill Trade solution and this extension will deliver a further level of benefit over the 3 year contract period." Jacquie Boast, Managing Director of Kewill Solutions Europe, states "We have worked closely with Sainsbury's over recent years growing from a provider of EDI systems to their suppliers to a strategic partner within their supply chain.
Today our business with Sainsbury's is about delivering sophisticated Internet based solutions which enable their suppliers to trade electronically and provide vital supply chain information back to Sainsbury's in a timely manner, in order that they can make informed business decisions.
We are delighted that Sainsbury's has decided to grow its relationship with Kewill affirming the confidence and respect that Kewill has within the UK retail sector.".
