Export without worries: PASTA ZARA’s case

3 production plants in Italy and presence in 108 countries in the

world exporting 90% of the production: this is Pasta Zara, standard

bearer of the Italian food worldwide.

Key point in the company’s philosophy has always been the

careful selection of the best durum wheat semolina and the

investment on the most modern pasta-making technologies.

Led since 1898 by the Bragagnolo family, today Pasta Zara is the

second Italian producer and first exporter of dry pasta.

Given the importance of export in its business and pushed by

customers of the large retail sector, Pasta Zara searches for an

EDI provider.

The service must be flexible, to manage also the automated

exchange of orders and invoices in a non-standard format. The

supplier must already have experience in the large retailers sector and manage in outsourcing the new integrations, without

loading Pasta Zara with additional activities, such as the

management of projects, the production of documents or the

maintenance of relationships.

Experience in the large retailers sector and outsourcing

Automate data exchange with large retailers worldwide

Thanks to DERWID’s service for electronic data interchange

D/cct, which is tightly integrated with the ERP software, Pasta

Zara automatically exchanges invoices, delivery notes, orders, order confirmations and change requests with retail chains all

over the world, from Italy to Australia.

The import/export formats were developed considering the needs of the different subsidiaries: in fact, even if belonging to

the same retail chain, often each single subsidiary requires slightly

different information in the invoice, according to the fiscal needs

of the respective country. Thus, Pasta Zara fully automated the management of all outgoing flows and has recently started

projects to fully automate also incoming flows.

Elimination of manual errorsUsing the service for electronic data interchange, Pasta Zara

reduced manual intervention for data entry activities, thus decreasing errors. Moreover Pasta Zara has been able to

allocate resources in activities with higher added value.

Also positive is the fact that thanks to the experience and the

origins of DERWID, integrations in German-speaking countries

are realized very quickly.

We want to exploit the full potential of the EDI service, increasingly

automating the outgoing flows. We are planning to integrate

also our suppliers through EDI: with this arrangement we could

accelerate the material receiving operations in our automated

warehouses.
