Seamless EDI integration with Farmers

B2BE works with Farmers to help suppliers automate the exchange of business-critical documents and streamline trading operations across one of New Zealand’s most recognised retail brands. Through B2BE’s EDI platform, suppliers can reduce manual data entry, improve transaction accuracy, and maintain compliance with Farmers’ electronic trading requirements. This enables faster order processing, improved visibility, and more efficient collaboration throughout the supply chain.

Farmers is one of New Zealand’s leading department store retailers, serving customers since 1909 through a nationwide network of stores and online channels. The retailer offers a broad range of products across fashion, beauty, homewares, appliances, and lifestyle categories, with well-known brands spanning both local and international markets. As a high-volume retail organisation, Farmers relies on strong supplier partnerships and efficient inventory management to ensure products are available when customers need them.

To trade with Farmers, these are the document types that you will be exchanging:

  • 850 – Bon de commande
  • 855 – Accusé de réception de commande
  • 856 – Advance Ship Notice (ASN)
  • 810 – Facture

These EDI documents support the automated exchange of purchasing, inventory, fulfilment, and invoicing information, helping suppliers improve document accuracy, reduce administration, and accelerate transaction processing.
