The Challenge of Dual-Market EDI Operations

Serving Restaurants and Retail Creates Unique Complexity

Bulk vs. Retail Packaging

Smart & Final serves both restaurants needing bulk quantities and retail customers buying smaller sizes. Managing different pack sizes, case quantities, and pricing through manual EDI creates constant errors and compliance issues.

Foodservice Compliance Requirements

Restaurant suppliers face strict requirements for nutritional data, allergen information, and food safety documentation. Missing these EDI fields results in rejected shipments and lost foodservice accounts.

Mixed Distribution Models

Orders route to warehouse stores, restaurant delivery, and retail locations with different requirements. Coordinating these channels manually leads to misrouted shipments and service failures.
