The Gkazas family from Crete, Greece

Gkazas story starts in Crete under the trees of an olive grove, the olive grove of the family Gkazas. From this fertile, Cretan ground, Gkazas came to existence.

Extra virgin olive oil from the Gkazas family

Did you know that the olive oil market is one of the most counterfeited in the world? That’s why it’s the mission of the Dutch-Greek family business Gkazas Olive Oil to make high-quality Cretan olive oil accessible to as many people as possible.

How? By bringing only the best olive oil Crete has to offer to consumers in an honest and innovative way, without tampering with it.

Greek olive oil as the Cretan farmer eats it

Gkazas now works with around fifty farmers in Crete. The oil is only purchased if it has been approved through organoleptic testing, meaning it has been tasted and evaluated for its aroma, color, and flavor. Each year, they bring 400,000 liters to the Benelux and are available in 2,500 stores. In short, the olive oil movement is spreading!

EDI

Gkazas was looking for a partner to set up and implement EDI. They wanted to be able to exchange orders and invoices with customers such as AH, and Hanos.

Type 2 Solutions handled the EDI connections with the retailers and the logistics service provider of Gkazas through the T2S EDI Platform.

For Gkazas, we have implemented the following EDI messages:

  • Orders (order)
  • Aperak (receipt confirmation)
  • Desadv (delivery note)
  • Invoic (invoice)
