Vandeputte Group Slashes EDI Costs by 80% with Self-Service Integration

Vandeputte: a Customer Success Story

“We are very satisfied with the Babelway solution. In the end, the fact that we have been using the solution for 15 years is the best proof of our satisfaction..” – Benjamin Nuttin, IT Department, Vandeputte Group

The Customer

Vandeputte Group, a Belgian family-owned company established in 1887, is a leader in a diverse range of products derived from flaxseed. Across their three divisions: soap & detergent, oil and oleochemistry, they employ around 250 people and contribute to various industries.

The Context and Challenges

Vandeputte Group’s previous EDI system managed in-house with Axapta 3 and Synchrolink from Influe (now Generix), presented several obstacles. A critical factor for change came with the upgrade to Axapta 2009, requiring a complete overhaul of their EDI infrastructure. Vandeputte needed a more efficient and cost-effective solution.

The Solution

Vandeputte Group discovered Babelway, a cloud-based B2B integration platform offering a self-service approach to EDI. Intrigued by the potential for cost savings, control, and faster implementation, they decided to pilot Babelway with their EDI connection to Carrefour.
