Meijer combines grocery, pharmacy, electronics, apparel, and home goods under one roof. Managing different EDI requirements, lead times, and compliance rules across categories through manual processes guarantees costly errors.
Perishable items demand precise temperature control, date management, and delivery windows. Without automation, you risk shipping expired products or breaking cold chain requirements, resulting in rejected loads and vendor strikes.
Serving 240+ supercenters across six states requires sophisticated logistics. Manual EDI cannot coordinate cross-dock operations, store-direct shipments, and DC allocations efficiently, creating service failures.
