Case Study: Wehkamp achieves real-time stock visibility and scalable drop shipment integration with Descartes

Wehkamp Ecommerce and drop shipments information at the right time and place with EDI

Wehkamp, one of the largest online department stores in the Netherlands, needed a way to add books to its assortment while maintaining real-time stock visibility and flawless order-to-cash data exchange with drop shipment partners. The company’s challenge was to support its promise of “order before midnight and get your product the next day” through a fully automated, scalable integration model. Wehkamp turned to Descartes and its B2B Integration solution.

Descartes implemented a scalable B2B integration platform using EDI and web services to connect Wehkamp with suppliers and logistics partners in real time, 24/7. The solution accelerated the launch of the books category in time for the holiday season and helped automate high-volume order-level information exchange, improving stock visibility and supporting Wehkamp’s growth in drop shipment.
