Anglo Beef Processors Automates Order Processing
European beef company Anglo Beef Processors (ABP) works in a complex business environment with a high volume of customer orders. In a typical day, the company might receive 10 orders from one of its supermarket customers, with each order containing around 100 different product SKUs. It is vital for ABP's continued business success that these in-bound orders are filled quickly and dispatched within 24 hours.
For this reason, the company identified a need for a flexible solution for its ongoing electronic trading requirements, one that would help efficiently manage orders with accuracy and speed for quick dispatch to customers. ABP chose and deployed GXS Trading Grid to automate trading with its business customers.
Richard Baran, group IT infrastructure manager at ABP, comments, "GXS Trading Grid is tightly integrated with our back-end ERP system so we can process orders and raise invoices efficiently. At ABP, our mission is to be the preferred partner of multiple retailers, manufacturers and caterers in the supply of fresh and frozen meat and meat-based products. We see GXS as a key component that allows us to deliver on this mission."
ABP supplies the UK's food retail market delivering frozen and fresh beef, pork and lamb products to retailers and wholesalers. ABP slaughters and processes in excess of 300,000 cattle per year in the UK and supplies many UK supermarkets with their beef products, including premium ranges like Jamie Oliver, Royal Valley, Scotch Prime and Herdsman.
