B2BE works with Coles to help suppliers automate the exchange of business-critical documents and maintain compliance with the retailer’s EDI requirements. Through B2BE’s EDI platform, suppliers can streamline order management, improve transaction accuracy, reduce manual processing, and gain greater visibility across their supply chain operations.

Coles is one of Australia’s largest supermarket and retail groups, serving millions of customers through its nationwide network of supermarkets, liquor stores, and eCommerce channels. Operating in the highly competitive grocery and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, Coles relies on strong supplier partnerships and efficient data exchange to ensure products move accurately and efficiently through its distribution network to store shelves.

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

  • 850 – Bestelling
  • 855 – Bestelbon Bevestiging
  • 856 – Advance Ship Notice (ASN)
  • 810 – Factuur
  • 852 – Productactiviteitsgegevens

These EDI documents support the automated exchange of purchasing, inventory, shipping, and invoicing information, helping suppliers improve order accuracy, reduce processing delays, and maintain compliance with Coles’ trading requirements.
