OpenText™ announced that Schwartauer Werke, a leading German food supplier with over 1,000 employees, has chosen OpenText™ B2B Integration Essentials to modernize its electronic data interchange (EDI) processes and strategically position itself for future growth in an increasingly complex supply chain environment.
Schwartauer Werke, a pioneer in the food manufacturing and food retail supply industries for more than 135 years, faced an urgent challenge when its previous EDI vendor was acquired and subsequently abruptly terminated services. Recognizing the critical role of a robust and agile supply chain in maintaining its competitive edge, Schwartauer Werke took this opportunity to find a reputable and established provider and chose OpenText. In working together, OpenText will help Schwartauer Werke meet and exceed large buyer and vendor requirements and expectations for document exchange to help it keep pace with competition and continue its decades of growth.
Suppliers like Schwartauer Werke are facing severe headwinds from many directions, including evolving market demands that make cloud-based integration imperative; those integrations, in turn, enable streamlined supply chains and agile financial processes. That agility allows suppliers to adjust processes as needed and, ultimately, get products to customers, new markets and channels faster.
In partnering with OpenText, Schwartauer Werke now has the most innovative digital integration platform available, backed by decades of experience and leadership in the industry, enabling it to meet those evolving industry demands. OpenText B2B Integration Essentials allows customers to:
- Ensure business continuity by partnering with a financially robust global leader operating in 180 countries – including a regional headquarters in Germany – to ensure reliable service and a deep understanding of Schwartauer Werke’s local market needs.
- Rapidly leverage pre-built integrations to quickly establish digital B2B connectivity for both simple and complex business processes, minimizing downtime during critical transitions.
- Scale operations efficiently by automating business document exchange to handle increasing order volumes, freeing up staff to focus on higher-value activities.
- Meet evolving industry demands by adapting to intensifying buyer and vendor demands for EDI connectivity and minimizing inefficiencies.
- Gain actionable insights by automating data processing to enhance reporting and analysis, enabling the identification of purchasing patterns and high-volume items to optimize inventory management.
"Schwartauer Werke's decision to partner with OpenText underscores the importance of choosing a technology provider that can deliver both immediate value and long-term strategic advantage," said Savinay Berry, OpenText Executive Vice President and Chief Product Officer. "OpenText empowers companies like Schwartauer Werke to navigate the complexities of today's supply chain and enhance operations while strengthening a company’s ability to compete and grow.”
