The Project in Detail
In 2008, AB InBev began using the Generix Group’s Collaborative Replenishment solution to better manage its stocks. Due to the ever-increasing consumer demands, this solution quickly became essential for more and more distributors as well as for AB InBev.
Over the years, Generix Group’s solution has evolved to become the current version of Generix Collaborative Replenishment. In addition to stock optimization, the tool’s features also consider the efficiency of transport operations. AB InBev was one of the first to adopt it to best meet market requirements.
Today, Generix Group has formed an international project team to meet the future needs of AB InBev and its local distributors. This way, expansion to other countries and their local resellers can be relatively easily achieved.
In 2021, Generix Group’s GCR software was used by 7 retailers in 4 different countries, in 87 AB InBev warehouses, and this usage will soon be expanded in Europe and beyond.
The Solution includes
- EDI Software: Electronic Data Interchange
- Supply Chain Management Software: Collaborative Replenishment
- TradeXpress Software
