Campari Selects OpenText Managed Services to Manage, Exchange
and Process Digital B2B Transactions with Large Retailers and Duty
Free Shops around the World
WATERLOO, Ontario, Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ:
OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Information
Management (EIM), today announced that Gruppo Campari, a leading
global branded beverage company, has selected OpenText to digitize
the company's Order-to-Cash processes and streamline B2B
transactions with its major customers. Using OpenText Managed
Services and OpenText Active Invoices with Compliance, Campari is
able to exchange information with each of its trading partners
while managing compliance with country-specific tax
regulations.
Campari is a major player in the global spirits industry, with a
portfolio of over 50 premium and super-premium brands, including
Aperol, Appleton Estate, Campari, SKYY, Wild
Turkey and Grand
Marnier. Founded in 1860, Campari has become the
sixth-largest player worldwide in the premium spirits industry.
Campari faced challenges managing its disparate B2B systems and was
looking to modernize and consolidate its infrastructure to support
its key business initiatives.
"By consolidating onto a single B2B backbone, managed by a
single global provider, we can provide the highest level of service
to our customers, significantly reduce complexity and gain better
control and visibility into our global supply chain," said
Christopher Woods, Head of Group IT,
Campari. "With OpenText Managed Services, we have complete
visibility across all our business systems and information silos
both inside and outside the enterprise."
Campari selected OpenText to create a single, integrated B2B
backbone that would enable it to gain greater visibility and
insight into B2B transactions, minimize supply-chain disruption and
capture significant business value through increased operational
and competitive agility.
Campari also looked to automate its Order-to-Cash processes that
handle more than 500,000 transactions every year. This was an
opportunity for the group to rethink its B2B strategy and move to a
more agile, cloud-based B2B integration platform which could
connect all formats and systems via one link into the ERP
system.
As Campari operates in multiple jurisdictions across the globe,
it also opted to implement OpenText Active Invoices with Compliance
to get a single solution to help maintain tax compliance for
electronic invoicing with customers located in different
countries.
"A key factor in electronic invoicing is ensuring that each
invoice is compliant with local tax authority regulations, and it
is a complex challenge for businesses with our scale and reach,"
said Woods. "OpenText Active Invoices with Compliance helps us
manage compliance with regulations across 41 countries."
