Tungsten Network extends partnership with the John Lewis Partnership

London, 06 July 2018: Global e-invoicing provider Tungsten Network has announced a contract renewal which will see it continue to partner with major high-street retail business the John Lewis Partnership.

As an ongoing service, Tungsten Network handles e-invoicing for Goods Not for Resale which includes anything from office supplies to consumables such as checkout bags in-store. The Tungsten Network provision runs alongside John Lewis Partnership’s own EDI (electronic data interchange) system which processes all high-volume Goods for Resale. 

Rick Hurwitz, CEO of Tungsten Network comments: “We are delighted to be renewing our contract with John Lewis Partnership – a much-loved retail group on the high-street. At Tungsten Network we are on a mission to battle the friction that can be caused by delays in a supply chain weighed down by too much paper and clunky processes. The John Lewis Partnership has committed to digitise its operations and is actively using technology to improve efficiencies. We are thrilled to support them on this journey.”
