Case Study: Mark Anthony Group achieves up to 75% faster order processing and improved data accuracy with Information Builders' iWay

iWay Keeps Information Flowing for Mark Anthony Group

Mark Anthony Group, a leading Canadian importer and distributor of wine, beer and specialty beverages that handles more than 15 million cases a year, faced slow, paper-based warehouse and trading‑partner processes and struggled to integrate ERP and CRM systems using Microsoft BizTalk. The company needed to extend ERP automation to the warehouse and external partners to eliminate manual order entry, billing and shipping workflows.

Mark Anthony deployed iWay Software’s Business Process Automation suite (including iWay Service Manager plus SQL Server and EDI adapters) to pass XML between systems and manage EDI with suppliers. iWay now handles more than 150 outgoing orders and 15 large shipment receipts daily, accelerating order processing by up to 75%, improving data quality, simplifying regulatory reporting, and delivering significant labor savings (equivalent to about one full‑time employee so far) while providing a scalable, more reliable integration platform.
