A Norwegian leader in Food Production, recognized the critical need to enhance their supplier management practices. Facing challenges in ensuring compliance, managing risks, and meeting sustainability goals, they sought our expertise to implement a robust and future-ready solution.

The transformative journey we embarked on resulted in a best-in-class solution that not only reduced risks but also elevated compliance and exceeded sustainability targets.

  • Sustainability Excellence – Exceeding sustainability targets, with a measurable reduction in the environmental impact of their supply chain.
  • Operational Efficiency – Streamlined processes led to increased operational efficiency, contributing to cost savings and improved overall supply chain performance.

Collaborating closely with the Client, our team conducted a comprehensive analysis and redesign of their supplier management processes. We designed a bespoke digital adaptation of SAP Ariba SLP that addressed their unique challenges and goals and which revolutionised their supplier management processes, leveraging cutting-edge digital tools.

Key components of our approach included:
