What changes have vendors and brokers already experienced?
Already, the Delhaize America banners have migrated to common vendor and common item numbering systems, providing visibility to supply chain activity throughout our U.S. operations. This conversion to common vendor and item numbering changed some of the ways suppliers correspond with the Food Lion Family and/or Hannaford. A small percentage of our vendors received new vendor numbers. Most vendor numbers stayed the same. We have also changed some of the forms suppliers use.
