1. General Information
- Scope: Kespro is the largest food supplier in Finland. They serve over 25,000 customers with a product range of approximately 55,000 items. Their customer base includes both private hospitality businesses and public-sector organisations.
- The Apicbase–Kespro integration allows customers to import a customer-specific product assortment (defined via Kespro’s “Tarjooma” service) and place integrated orders directly with Kespro from Apicbase.
- Website: https://www.kespro.com/
- Important Notes:
-
Kespro’s subsidiaries Kalatukku E. Eriksson and Reinin Liha are not supported in this integration because they operate separate ERPs.
-
Only one product list per location can be shared with Apicbase.
-
The customer must prepare and manage their own product list in Tarjooma, which is the source of the assortment file.
-
2. Product Assortment
- Assortment Type: Customer-specific. The customer defines their own product list in Kespro’s Tarjooma service, and this list is shared with Apicbase.
- Syncing Frequency: Once the product list is selected for sharing, and the connection is validated, the assortment is synced automatically to Apicbase via the overnight sync.
- Assortment Management: Customers manage their assortment directly in Tarjooma. Any edits to the list (add/remove products) will automatically update the Apicbase catalogue after the next overnight sync.
- Note that deleting an item from the assortment doesn't delete it from Apicbase, it only makes the article unorderable. You can archive it manually in Apicbase if necessary.
- Prices: as agreed by contract with the supplier for the corresponding products, otherwise the standard price indicated by Kespro.
