Presently, Leuze's sales department has to deal with up to 35 different customer\/supplier portals, all data being entered manually. The aim of the current project with Retarus is to connect a large number of customer portals directly via EDI, thereby significantly reducing the workload for both customers and Leuze itself on the purchasing\/sales side and strengthening mutual partnerships in the long term.<\/p>\r\n

This is where Retarus brings its experience with larger EDI projects and the necessary scaling to the table. Three implementers and one project manager have already started working on the Leuze project.<\/p>\r\n

Retarus knows many of Leuze's customers from previous EDI projects and already operates EDI connections to these customers. This makes the work done for Leuze a lot faster and easier.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\" _builder_version=\"4.17.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"||||false|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text disabled_on=\"off|off|off\" admin_label=\"Services\" module_class=\"ret_wider\" _builder_version=\"4.19.4\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#44546a\" background_layout=\"dark\" max_width_tablet=\"50%\" max_width_phone=\"100%\" max_width_last_edited=\"on|tablet\" module_alignment=\"right\" custom_margin=\"||||false|false\" custom_padding=\"30px|30px|7px|30px|false|false\" hover_enabled=\"0\" module_alignment_tablet=\"left\" module_alignment_phone=\"left\" module_alignment_last_edited=\"on|phone\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]
