ECR-Rus, the Russian branch of Efficient Consumer Response (ECR), the international FMCG and retail trade and industry body, has granted Tieto an electronic data interchange (EDI) service certificate after complying with the 2010-2011 certification procedure. Companies that win certification have proved that their level of service corresponds to the basic requirements of the ECR community.
The certificate means Tieto’s services are officially recognized in Russia, which opens the door to interchange networks as well as better partner connectivity for its global and local customers.
The Russian economy is expected to rapidly adopt the use of efficient e-trade and e-invoicing services as well as to increase its usage of effective B2B electronic communications.
Tapani Turunen, director at Tieto, said: “ECR certification is an important achievement for Tieto in supporting its customers in the Russian market. It increases our visibility and improves our networking with other qualified service providers.” Mr Turunen is responsible for the e-trade product area offered by Tieto’s Value Networks, a unit which specializes in B2B integration services.
ECR is a joint trade and industry body working towards improving the responsiveness of the FMCG and retail sectors to consumer demand and promoting the removal of unnecessary costs from the supply chain. http://ecr-all.org/
