GetPort / GEDAT
The GetPort GmbH and the GEDAT Getränkedaten GmbH are two Hamburg based service providers that organise the more efficient data exchange between the beverage whole sale (GFGH) and the Manufacturers. GetPort and GEDAT have given CONXPERT their complete confidence as their technology service provider for the networking connections
The project the began with the individual data connections to the manufacturers involved, and united them CONXPERT. In the next step, the retailers were quickly connected. Since then, around 30 Manufacturers with more than 100 brands, well as over 2.200 beverage retailers as well as many renowned food-retailers use the GetPort and GEDAT.
CONXPERT now makes sure that the respective data formats of the retailer are consistently transformed to the system of the manufacturer, and vice versa. In the scope of the subproject, GEDAT often applies the CONXPERT integration server (CXIS) on the beverage commerce side . Because this solution was reliable as well as extremely user-friendly, it was quickly accepted. By now,about 500 CXIS are in operation in the beverage market. But the real added value lies in CONXPERTs flexible solutions, which are used to integrate every interface in the beverage industry and trade – and there are a lot of those.
The solution used at GetPort additionally involves the new development of an Extranet which includes a Web Sales-Reports and Web Shop. Over 1.400 beverage retailers can now comfortably administrate their Sales reports as well as place orders by using the online component. In order to keep manufacturers informed about all processes, CONXPERT created extensive reporting tools for GetPort – including a Connection portal, which reproducibly shows the status of an individual retailers connection as well as a transaction monitor that swiftly displays the state of the individual transactions.
Conclusion: With the help of CONXPERT, GetPort and GEDAT created a convenient, highly accepted network. The manufacturers benefit from the enhanced scoop of customer potential and/or a more effectively focussed sales force because they receive customera data from the supplier’s customers that is more accurate and up to date. The beverage and food retailers enjoy the advantages of working more efficiently and an increase in business relations with the leading beverage manufacturers. The developed system is ultimately characterised by the fact that use is free of charge for the GFGH’s and LEH’s.
