CBX platform to centralise retailer’s supply chain data, automate workflows, and ensure accurate operations documentation
Aldi Hong Kong has partnered with supply chain solution provider TradeBeyond to digitise and streamline its supply chain operations, enhancing efficiency and positioning the retailer for continued global growth.
The partnership will see Aldi adopt TradeBeyond’s multi-enterprise CBX platform to centralise the retailer’s supply chain data, automate its workflows, and ensure accurate documentation for its operations. According to TradeBeyond, the platform’s configurability allows Aldi to support varying supplier and country-specific requirements, from compliance rules to logistics documentation. By reducing errors and simplifying cross-border shipment processes, the platform helps minimise the costly delays and inaccuracies that can result in financial penalties.
“We chose TradeBeyond because their platform provided the level of flexibility needed to adapt to the ongoing complexity of multifaceted supply chain models,” said Nathan Whitelum, director of international supply chain, Aldi. “As our team is responsible for providing products from various production facilities throughout Asia, to all Aldi countries internationally, we required a system that could support our specific requirements, while ensuring data accuracy, reliability, and scalability. TradeBeyond’s CBX platform will play a vital role in helping us streamline operations and prepare for future growth.”
The CBX platform also caters to Aldi’s intricate order structures, which involve varying product specifications like colours, sizes, and styles. This precision ensures complexities are handled efficiently, reducing delays and enhancing collaboration with suppliers.
“Aldi is one of the most intricate we’ve encountered, with layers of complexity that require precision at every step,” said Tim Chiu, vice president, TradeBeyond. “Our CBX platform was built for challenges like this, offering the flexibility that Aldi needs as it continues to scale its already vast operations.”
