Case Study: Fenmarc achieves reliable JIT ordering and reduced inventory waste with Data Interchange's Odex Enterprise

Ensuring reliability to JIT order strategies using EDI

Fenmarc is a leading East Anglia-based supplier of fresh potatoes and vegetables to UK supermarkets and wholesalers, generating over £80 million in annual sales. Facing growing pressure from customers to adopt EDI, Fenmarc needed a reliable solution to support its Just-In-Time ordering process and minimise perishable stock while handling frequent short-notice, high-volume orders.

Data Interchange implemented Odex Enterprise and the Dinet Integration Network to seamlessly integrate customer orders with Fenmarc’s in-house ERP, delivering real-time orders without re-keying. The solution improved order accuracy and forecasting, reduced inventory and waste, strengthened customer relationships, and gave Fenmarc greater resilience, flexibility and control in meeting changing demand.
