Hengstenberg GmbH & Co. KG SUCCESS STORY OF A CUSTOMER PROJECT

Usually, middleware systems for electronic data exchange work quietly and efficiently in the background. Once they are outdated and no longer technically enhanced, the communication with external partners might get stuck. This is why food producer Hengstenberg from Esslingen has decided in favor of a changeover to FIS/xee. 

FIS/xee reliably manages data exchange in the background with almost the entire German commercial landscape. Due to the SAP integration, the monitoring of the transmission processes is extremely convenient. Furthermore, the solution can be easily enhanced by a company’s own IT professionals and adjusted to individual requirements.

About the company 

Hengstenberg GmbH & Co. KG

Hengstenberg GmbH & Co. KG is a traditional, family-run company and has specialized in fine pickled quality products for 140 years. Its assortment comprising sauerkraut, red cabbage, vinegar, sourly inserted cucumbers and vegetables, mustard, delicatessen products and Italian tomato specialities offer high cooking diversity to any cuisine. The family enterprise employs some 500 persons at three locations in Germany. The company exports in more than 40 countries, among them, in particular, other EU countries but also the U.S., Russia and Japan. 

Solution individually expandable by own IT team FIS/xee

Although the aim of replacing the old EDI tool was initially only a 1:1 implementation of the previous functionality, Hengstenberg quickly found out that the SAP integration of FIS/xee also makes the monitoring of the transmission processes much more convenient as it works directly from SAP. As a consequence, the Hengstenberg administrators can independently set up new partners or message types in FIS/xee and make partner-specific mapping adjustments. The SAP integration of FIS/xee is another advantage when it comes to archiving: the SAP system is connected to an audit-compliant archive system via ArchiveLink interface.
