Videotron Leverages QLogitek’s SaaS Supply Chain Software to Strengthen Its Retail Order Fulfillment Business

Toronto (September 1, 2009) - Videotron, the largest cable system operator in Quebec, leverages QLogitek’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to strengthen its supply chain. Its expanding cable and wireless business demanded greater supply chain efficiency, therefore Videotron turned to QLogitek for automating and integrating its supply chain with key retail partners including The Brick and Future Shop.

Using QLogitek's Hosted EDI System and Supplier Order Management System Videotron is automating and integrating core order fulfillment business processes to support its growth with retail trading partners. All inbound business-to-business (B2B) transactions to Videotron and outbound transactions to retail partners are now directly synchronized with Videotron's SAP ERP system using QLogitek's on-demand Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) and iDoc adapter solution.

QLogitek's SaaS Supplier Order Management System accepts inbound transactions such as Purchase Order (850) in all formats from retailers and creates corresponding iDoc files for Videotron’s SAP ERP system. Similarly, all outbound transactions like ASNs (856) and Invoices (810) to retail partners are converted from SAP’s custom format to the standard required by the retailers.

QLogitek’s SaaS based Hosted EDI and Supplier Order Management systems are helping Videotron improve its supply chain while leveraging its investment in SAP. The immediate business benefits to Videotron from this undertaking include: seamless integration of retailers with its ERP system for better visibility, reduction in manual data entry, reduction in errors, and faster order-to-cash cycles.
