George Weston Foods implements viper:online>collaborate
Perth - 28 October 2004

After successfully piloting Prodata's viper:online system back in 2003, George Weston Foods (GWF) Meat and Dairy division has now successfully implemented  viper:online>collaborate.

Since the beginning of  August live freight orders have been electronically received into the viper system from GWF's SAP database and passed on to their Perth distribution carrier, Rand National Transport. After being picked, freight orders are being transmitted via viper's native EDI format and distributed to Rand's Transport Management System via the intelligent viper:online>collaborate hub.

GWF and Rand now have the ability to capitalise on their collaborative IT relationship by implementing viper's Freight Invoice Reconciliation and Reverse Billing modules to further decrease payment delays and write offs.

Darrell Behan, Project Manager at GWF says "My job was to streamline processes for the Meat & Dairy Division and get accountability for freight services. The viper:online system enabled us to achieve the objective to centralise management of orders and trade electronically with carriers. viper:online has removed several manual intensive tasks and allowed us to track and process documents online without going back to carriers to chase paper work."
