Harvest Food Group chose to avoid traditional EDI approaches that depend on Trading Partner functionalities and Value-Added Networks (VANs) and instead implemented the GR8T EDI Passport Bot, by GR Technology, leveraging Rockwell Automation's Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform.

The GR8T EDI Passport simplifies and optimizes EDI workflows with powerful APIs in a cost-effective manner. Harvest Food Group experienced faster order-to-cash cycles, improved compliance amongst their growing number of suppliers and distributors, better inventory control, and expedited order fulfillments as a result. As a leader in individually-quick-frozen (IQF) foods, Harvest Food Group can now extend these improvements to their 3PL operations.

"Third-party logistics can be a time-consuming and complex process. From meeting specific vendor requirements to ensuring quality standards, everything must align perfectly for our products to reach our customers. Speed should never come at the expense of quality—and with a solution like the GR8T EDI Passport, we now have the flexibility to work with more vendors and customers, continuing to deliver the trusted products that have earned us our reputation," said Jenny Crimmins, senior business systems analyst at Harvest Food Group.
