| | CASE STUDY:
The EDI platform implementation
at La Redoute | | |
| La Redoute, a company that is part of the Galeries Lafayette Group, specializes in clothing and decorative materials. It stands out as an e-commerce leader in the home and fashion sector in France. Running its offices in six different countries (the United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain), La Redoute aims to gain even more competitive advantage by building effective partnerships with distributors having a strong market position in China, Sweden, Greece, Romania, Africa, and Japan. Being an international company with an increasing number of clients and partners around the world, La Redoute demands high product quality and effective communication with its customers and suppliers. It turned out, however, that the company’s previous EDI solution, was unable to meet the growing expectations. As a result, La Redoute took actions to improve its document management and facilitate the monitoring of drop-shipping processes in the supply chain. Deployment of a modern, customized EDI solution became part of La Redoute’s development strategy. That was where the cooperation with Comarch began. | | |
| "Throughout the project duration, Comarch teams listened to our requirements and took into account the limitations arising from the specificity of our sector. They were also very sensitive to our expectations, working constantly to improve the service, thus proving a strong sense of responsibility, which we very much appreciate.”
– Mathieu Blampain,
IT project manager at La Redoute |

| Australia and New Zealand announced a common approach to e-invoicing, formalized by an international arrangement signed in late 2018. On February 22nd, 2019, the Australian and New Zealand Prime Ministers agreed to adopt the PEPPOL framework as the basis for Trans-Tasman e-invoicing. Both countries will be establishing a PEPPOL Authority (PA) and are expected to be operational by the end of 2019. Being a global provider of modern e-invoicing systems and services, Comarch is closely following the developments in Australia and New Zealand. We are genuinely excited to see the launch of consultation on local requirements and A-NZ extensions to the BIS for e-Invoicing. Plus, on August 14th, 2019, PEPPOL consultations were finalized, and we are happy that Comarch had the opportunity to participate. Waiting for updated specifications and guidance materials from A-NZ, we are proud to announce Comarch is opening a new office in Australia to strengthen its presence in this region. | | |
