Supplier Guidelines and Policies

8. INTERNET VENDOR CONTRACT ENTRY PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

Wakefern Food Corporation is pleased to announce the successful development of an expanded Internet Web site for our non-EDI vendors. As a result of our continuous endeavor to reduce costs in the supply chain and improve our customer services with the vendor community we have developed the "Internet Vendor Contract Entry" application.

The Internet Vendor Contract Entry application gives you, our vendors, the ability to:

  • Enter data electronically,
  • Eliminate the need to key in contract forms.

In this document, we are providing you with all of the details and requirements for joining and using the Wakefern Food Corporation web site. We hope that you use this opportunity to take advantage of an Internet based tool that will provide everyone with added cost savings. Please note that this documentation is a Users manual and does not denote accountability or accounting policy.

The requirements are a PC, Internet access, and password authorization for access. If you encounter technical issues please contact the Wakefern Help Desk at 732-225-8095.
