Case Study: Y. Hata & Co., Limited achieves supply chain transformation with PartnerLinQ

Y. Hata Leverages PartnerLinQ for Supply Chain Transformation

Y. Hata & Co., Limited, the largest independent, family-owned foodservice distributor in Hawaii, needed a better way to manage a complex mix of EDI and non-EDI transactions across a diverse partner network. PartnerLinQ helped address the lack of unified connectivity, end-to-end visibility, and heavy manual intervention that were slowing operations and creating inefficiencies.

PartnerLinQ, implemented by Visionet as part of Y. Hata’s broader digital transformation, was used to power EDI communication and integration alongside Microsoft Dynamics 365, a customer portal, mobile sales apps, and BI capabilities. The solution onboarded 110 EDI and non-EDI partners through more than 40 system integrations, improving transparency, reliability, and customer satisfaction while reducing costs and manual work and enabling faster, more accurate real-time decision-making.
