| 30.12.2011 Maxima chose Telema as their partner in EDI pilot project |
|
At the end of the last year, Maxima finally started their long-awaited EDI project – until then they sent all orders to suppliers by e-mail. As the partner of this pilot project in the Baltics they chose Telema and the first partners they are going to exchange documents with are the companies belonging to Telema’s client Vaasan Grupp – Leibur in Estonia, Hanzas Maiznica in Latvia and Vilniaus Duona in Lithuania. |

For years, the retail chain Maxima has sent orders to suppliers by email, in .txt format in Estonian and Latvia, and in .xls format in Lithuania. As sending business documents by e-mail has many flaws (e-mails might be delayed or even get lost and there are problems with security and confidentiality), starting with the EDI project is a long-awaited positive news. As opposed to e-mail, EDI is secure, the problems with spam letters and the threat of viruses are eliminated. In addition, EDI operator assures the authorization of the sender of the document and the document’s delivery to the correct receiver. Maxima begins with converting orders into EDI
format and the next step will be to start using EDI invoices. According to the plan, the first
test-orders will be sent from Maxima to Leibur in January
2012. After the pilot project, Maxima will start transferring their
other suppliers to EDI channel. To the clients of Telema, this means you should let us know about your
wish to be connected to Maxima, we will link the codes and EDI traffic with
the largest retail chain in the Baltics may begin. |
