Grocery items require precise date tracking, temperature requirements, and rotation schedules. Manual EDI processing risks sending expired products or missing narrow delivery windows, leading to rejected shipments and damaged vendor relationships.
Hy-Vee operates over 280 stores across eight states, each with unique delivery schedules and inventory needs. Coordinating shipments across this network without automation creates logistics nightmares and compliance failures.
Beyond standard retail EDI, Hy-Vee requires specific fields for lot codes, expiration dates, and temperature controls. Missing these requirements results in immediate chargebacks and potential delisting from their vendor network.
