OpenText renews partnership with Hong Kong's ezTRADE

OpenText, which provides enterprise information management (EIM) tools, is powering Hong Kong's ezTRADE with the OpenText Trading Grid. 

EzTRADE is a B2B e-commerce platform that facilitates paperless trading by enabling efficient, accurate transmission of commercial documents to trading partners along the supply chain using electronic data interchange (EDI) messaging formats. The platform has close to 2,000 users in Hong Kong and the South China region, spanning industries such as supermarkets, pharmaceuticals, food services and healthcare and including small business, enterprise and government organisations. 

Now part of OpenText's Information Exchange portfolio of products, Trading Grid is the world's largest integration cloud. Built on OpenText Trading Grid, ezTRADE not only facilitates transactions seamlessly but allows the use of integrated smart mobile devices for EDI document exchange processes to enable real-time event notifications, transaction status inquiries and visibility to analytics.

GS1 Hong Kong, an industry-led organisation committed to enhancing Hong Kong enterprises' competitiveness through the provision of global supply chain standards, oversees ezTRADE. OpenText, through its GXS acquisition, has been providing trading grid services to ezTRADE members since 2000 and has just renewed the existing contract with GS1 to continue its ezTRADE partnership.

Anna Lin, Chief Executive of GS1 Hong Kong, said: "In this Internet age, an efficient B2B e-commerce platform is essential to help businesses meet the ever-changing needs of their customers. GS1 HK is committed to enabling our business partners to capture the infinite possibilities with this unique product code spanning the entire supply chain, and to facilitate our members to be more efficient and more competitive in the e-commerce world."

ezTRADE customers include Watson's Group, Dairy Farm Group, DKSH and the Hong Kong Hospital Authority. "ezTRADE is a platform that we have relied on to connect with our suppliers since 1996. It streamlines our business processes by allowing us to transmit mission-critical commercial data efficiently to our suppliers' computer systems," said Wendy Lam, Head of IT Services of the Wellcome supermarket chain, whose parent company is the Dairy Farm Group.

"ezTRADE is an important building block in our supply chain management solution. It enables us to become more responsive to our customers' demands and manage inventory more efficiently," added Ada Wong, Manager, IT Applications, DKSH Hong Kong.
