Welcome

Discover how Holie's, the world's healthiest breakfast, has established an efficient connection with multiple retailers using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). OrderChief and Type 2 Solutions share their practical experiences, the challenges they encountered, and the key insights gained throughout this implementation journey.

From challenge to connection

Holie's was looking for a partner to set up and implement EDI with the Exact Online ERP system. The goal was to automate the exchange of orders and invoices with retailers including Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Picnic and Crisp.

OrderChief managed the integration with Exact Online, while Type 2 Solutions implemented the EDI connections with the retailers and the logistics service provider.

Together, we create a positive impact across the supply chain.

We follow a five-step plan for the implementation:

Step 1 – Analysis

We determine which EDI messages Holie's wants to exchange with which trading partners and with which IT system:

• EDI messages: ORDERS, DESADV (delivery note), RECADV (receiving advice), INSDES (instruction to despatch), INVRPT (inventory report), and INVOIC (invoice)
• Trading partners: Retailers such as AH, Jumbo, Picnic and Crisp, and the logistics service provider
• Business software: Exact Online

Step 2 – Solution

Based on the analysis, we determine the best solution:

• OrderChief for the connection with Exact Online
• Type 2 Solutions’ EDI Platform to facilitate connections with retailers and the logistics service provider.

Step 3 – Planning

We know exactly what we are going to achieve and what not, who will do what, and when.

Step 4 – Implementation

We initiate the connection with a client and schedule regular meetings to keep everyone informed about the project’s progress.

The solution undergoes comprehensive testing. After successfully exchanging test messages, we go live.

Step 5 – Go-live

Holie's can start working with EDI.

The EDI messages are automatically exchanged between Exact Online, the retailers and the logistics service provider. This saves time and prevents errors.

Holie's is ready for the rollout to the retailers. They are present with 15 products throughout the Benelux, are the second largest in the Netherlands, and are making a large-scale healthy impact.
