Nieuwegein, the Netherlands, 20 October 2011
Agri Retail, the franchisor of retail concepts Boerenbond and Welkoop, has
extended its agreement for IT services with Ordina for over two years. This
agreement renders Ordina responsible for the maintenance, management and renewal
of the retailer's logistics and financial applications. With this agreement,
Ordina takes a further step in strengthening its position in the Industry
market.
"Customer Excellence is centralized in our strategy for the Boerenbond and
Welkoop formulas", says Peter van Hattum, Agri Retail's Demand Supply Chain & IT
Manager. "This means that we mean to deliver the maximum added value to our
customers, while realising a top performance in the area of operational
excellence. The cooperation between Ordina and Agri Retail has been successful
in realising these goals for several years already. For this reason we had no
hesitations to renew our agreement with Ordina for a further two years."
"We value the importance of long-term relationships with our clients
tremendously", says Stépan Breedveld, CEO of Ordina. "To achieve this, it is
necessary to clearly demonstrate added value. We can offer this by investing in
knowledge of our clients' industries and in in-depth knowledge of systems
important to them. We are one of the largest Oracle partners in the Netherlands
for instance. I am really proud of the fact that Agri Retail as well has
experienced our added value and, without hesitation, has decided to extend their
agreement with us for the next two years."
Agri Retail's IT department is responsible for the entire operational IT of the
company, including the development, implementation and management of
applications for logistics and distribution. Agri Retail uses Oracle
applications for its logistical support and AS400 for its financial management.
Ordina will take care of the management of both the Oracle and AS400
applications in the next couple of years. Ordina will also be responsible for
the further development of custom applications, in order to further support Agri
Retail in the optimisation of its Financial and Logistics Management.
