The online supermarket Knuspr has become a new partner of the Swiss Markant Group, one of the leading service providers in the European food retail sector. The cooperation improves central processes such as payment processing, master data maintenance and electronic data exchange - and thus creates the basis for an even broader product range, particularly in the entry-level price segment, as well as better product availability.
Knuspr is the first pure e-food player in Europe to join the Markant network. The partnership underlines Knuspr's increasing structural maturity and market position - and marks an important step towards further scaling.
Centralized settlement for greater efficiency and new supply partnerships
The core of the collaboration is the introduction of centralized settlement: Markant will take over centralized invoicing and payment processing for Knuspr, issue a payment guarantee to suppliers and significantly reduce the administrative effort on both sides. In addition, the Markant network enables access to new trading partners who have not previously worked directly with Knuspr. This results in an even broader product range for customers, particularly in the entry-level price segment.
Focus on direct customer benefits
"With Markant, we are gaining an experienced partner who will make our processes more efficient and scalable - without changing our DNA," explains Olin Novák, Managing Director of Knuspr. "We are investing the resulting financial leeway directly in our range: better prices, greater selection and higher availability. At the same time, we gain valuable time to focus even more on our regional partner companies - from small organic farms to artisan bakeries and regional dairies. The cooperation with Markant is based on the structures of established retailers in Germany - and shows that we are on a par with the leading players, both strategically and operationally."
"Knuspr is a very innovative company that fits in well with our partner structure and our international reach. We are very pleased that we can provide tangible support in optimizing existing processes and make a partnership-based contribution to the further development of Knuspr's strategic orientation," says Dominik Scheid, Managing Director of Markant AG.
The partnership will initially start in Germany. An expansion to other markets of the Czech Rohlik Group, to which Knuspr belongs, is conceivable. The aim is to standardize and further optimize purchasing and handling processes across all markets.
