The EDI Problem on Pluriva
Pluriva does not generate native EDIFACT. To send ORDERS+DESADV+INVOIC to retailers (Carrefour, Kaufland, Lidl, Auchan, Metro, Mega Image, IKEA, Decathlon etc.) you must choose between:
Option A — third-party EDIFACT module: 12-25k€ setup + 6-15k€/year per connection + 8-14 weeks onboarding per retailer + 18-42k€/year in penalties due to format errors.
Option B — manual upload to retailer portals: operator 5-12h/week per retailer × 5 retailers = 25-60h/week = 1 full-time FTE = 35-50k€/year.
Neither option scales: a supplier with 5 active retailers on EDI = 140-225k€/year total cost with setup amortized over 3 years.

Real Pilot Results (Supplier with 5 active retailers, 16M€ revenue)
Before (Pluriva + manual portal upload):
1 FTE at 35k€/year for manual uploads.
Penalties of 22k€/year due to format errors.
2 enterprise retailers lost (Auchan, Profi) due to inability to support full EDI.
After (Pluriva + EDIconnect Azuvio 6 months):
FTE freed up = 35k€/year saved + redirected to sales support.
Penalties reduced from 22k → 2k€/year = 20k€/year saved.
Auchan + Profi onboarded in 3 weeks vs 4 months = 480,000€/year additional revenue × 14% margin = 67k€/year.
ROI of EDIconnect Azuvio over Pluriva
Year 1 Recurring Benefits: 35k + 20k + 67k = 122,000€/year (conservative 75% for year 1 = 92k€).
Cost: 22,000€ implementation + 14,000€/year SaaS + 1,500€/year per active retailer × 5 = 7,500€/year.
Total Recurring: 21,500€/year.
Payback: ~3.5 months. Year 1 ROI: 4.3x.
