**Watsonville, California**: Collaborating with major retailers like ALDI and Costco, Procurant expands its platform to improve supplier connectivity, reduce costs, and streamline transactions, addressing compliance with evolving regulatory demands such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204.
Procurant, a collaborative software platform designed for retail grocers based in Watsonville, California, has announced a significant expansion of its network connections for suppliers. This enhancement allows all suppliers using the Procurant platform to connect more effectively with major grocery and foodservice retailers. Key players in this new network include ALDI, Costco, Target, and Trader Joe’s, among others.
According to Kevin Brooks, Chief Revenue Officer of Procurant, the new connections aim to assist suppliers in reducing costs and streamlining their sales activities, resulting in smoother transactions and fewer order errors. “With these new retail connections, Procurant is helping suppliers reduce costs and consolidate their sales activity for smoother transactions and fewer order errors,” Brooks noted, adding that the platform offers a modern alternative to outdated Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems.
The expansion of Procurant’s services comes in response to increasing regulatory demands, particularly the requirements associated with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204, which focuses on traceability in the supply chain. With the new features, suppliers can handle FSMA 204 compliance concerns through a single connection, minimising complexity.
Key benefits for suppliers include improved management of orders and invoices and the option to use Procurant’s web-based platform, API, or EDI according to their business needs. The platform aims to provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional EDI systems, which often incur high support costs and operational inefficiencies.
As the grocery and foodservice sectors continue to evolve, the move to enhance digital connectivity is seen as a necessary step to adapt to the demands of the modern supply chain, ensuring greater efficiency and compliance in an increasingly regulated environment.
