                   by this infrastructure from downtime is crucial to
                   Sligro. This is why Sligro decided to permanently
                   monitor its business processes and infrastructure
                   with Tango/04 VISUAL Message Center.

                   The Challenge: Order Processes and Infrastructure

                   Order processes are the heart of Sligro's business.
                   Orders from large accounts are entered directly into
                   the system, while orders from smaller accounts
                   come in by handheld terminals or Electronic Data
                   Interchange (EDI).

                   If an order gets lost, the Sligro store that placed the
                   order may not be supplied the next day. The result is
                   that articles won't be on stock and the store will
                   have to say no to a customer.

With a range of over 60,000 products, Sligro is the largest food wholesaler in the Netherlands. It serves retailers and food service companies including stores, supermarkets, restaurants and caterers.
