Nutrition Point enhances EDI efficiency with Kewill
21 April 2009
Guildford, UK - Nutrition Point, a leading supplier of gluten free products, has selected Kewill (LSE: KWL), a leading provider of solutions that simplify global trade and logistics, to provide a fully integrated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system, to improve its order and invoicing processes.
Nutrition Point has already seen cost savings on processing orders more quickly by using Kewill MessageBroker since its go live in October 2008. The new system enables employees to focus more on customer service as it does not require the manual re-entry of order and invoice details.
As an end-to-end managed B2B integration service, maintained on a 24/7/365 basis, Kewill MessageBroker gives Nutrition Point more visibility over the process as notifications are received via email to confirm an order has been received.
The company chose Kewill MessageBroker because of its ability to connect, convert and control data in any format, through any communication channel.
Mehdi Barani, Systems Development Analyst, Nutrition Point, commented, “After the implementation of a new ERP system, we decided that it was time to review our EDI processes. We already had a good working relationship with Kewill, as we previously used their client-side EDI solution, EasyTrade, to trade with partners. However, we required an outsourced, hosted system which had the ability to integrate into Navision. Kewill was able to supply a fully managed EDI service with seamless integration and the ability to process our orders and invoices quickly and efficiently.”
Jacquie Boast, European Chief Operating Officer for Kewill commented, “Nutrition Point is experiencing the efficiencies from using Kewill’s MesssageBroker solution with immediate effect, demonstrating the quick ROI we deliver to our customers. Their order process has been streamlined, freeing up users’ time to enhance customer service which in today’s economic climate is a key measure of customer satisfaction and retention”

About Nutrition Point
Nutrition Point is a UK company, established in 1998 to market and distribute wheat free and gluten free products. The MD and founder Chris Hook was frustrated by the lack of choice and the absence of great tasting food for his wife and son, who both have a wheat intolerance. He was determined to improve the choice and quality of products for people with special dietary requirements – in particular coeliac disease, wheat intolerance and dermatitus herpetiformis.
In 2002, Nutrition Point became part of the Dr Schär group and assumed responsibility for the distribution of Schär gluten free and wheat free products in the UK and Ireland. Dr Schär has been established for over 25 years and are the European market leader in gluten free and wheat free foods. The union with Nutrition Point was hailed as the perfect fit as the two companies shared the same vision of developing innovative, high quality products.
In 2006, Dr Schär further strengthened the consumer offering across Europe by acquiring the whole coeliac business unit from Numico. This acquisition means that Nutrition Point is now responsible for the distribution of the Glutafin and Trufree brands throughout the UK and Ireland.
