Do you need EDI to supply Foodstuffs?
Yes. Foodstuffs is New Zealand's largest grocery retailer, and trading with it runs through the Foodstuffs eXchange, where the majority of transactions are EDI orders and invoices. Foodstuffs operates as two co-operatives, so you onboard to North Island, South Island, or both. EDIStech's Foodstuffs connection is already live, so NZ suppliers can get connected quickly.
What you exchange with Foodstuffs via EDI
-
Purchase Order — orders from Foodstuffs stores and distribution.
-
Purchase Order Acknowledgement — returned within Foodstuffs' required timeframe.
-
Advanced Shipping Notice (ASN) — Foodstuffs requires the order message before the ASN.
-
Invoice — matched automatically to the order.
EDIStech maps each document to the Foodstuffs eXchange specification and validates every message before it's sent.
