THE BUSINESS: Multiple Supermarket outlets

When our client firstly contacted us he was facing numerous difficulties for effectively managing the business processes in his multiple supermarket outlets and the supply chain. The complex structure of the retail / supermarket chain involved several entities whose processes needed to be recorded on a common business platform / application. The stakeholders of this structure were:

  • A diverse set of returning customers
  • The chain of 10 supermarket outlets in 2 cities
  • Transport and Logistics
  • Warehouse / Distribution centers
  • Product suppliers
