GulfNet manages sales data and order data generated daily by chain store companies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Sales data from each store of retail and food service companies is aggregated and analyzed on GulfNet's comprehensive store management system (Gulf CSM). Additionally, order data for transactions between food service and retail companies and suppliers is managed on GulfNet's EDI system (Gulf EDI).
The vast and important management data that flows between the business system and the EDI system is exchanged through GulfNet's network and data center.
Currently, Gulf EDI is used by about 50 companies, mainly large food service chain companies, in over 10,000 stores, providing a platform that supports an annual distribution volume of several hundred billion yen.
