Business Challenges • Aging custom-built promotion development tool no longer meeting business needs • On-premise SAP Enterprise Portal component that had to be accessed by external vendors through a VPN • Use of spreadsheets and e-mail to manage vendors’ retail offers, resulting in a significant number of labor-intensive manual processes Customer Benefits • Enhanced communications between internal promotion teams and suppliers • Streamlined vendor interactions with direct access to promotion management tools, allowing suppliers to communicate deals with Foodstuffs South Island stores, submit funding applications, and view promotion confirmations, with 100,000 offers processed each month • Eliminated many of the manual processes involved in managing vendor promotions, providing greater visibility to suppliers and reduced the time needed for the internal team to plan and manage vendor promotions
“SAP Build Work Zone has significantly improved vendor promotion interactions, empowering suppliers while freeing our team from manual tasks. Our suppliers can use the service as a central point to access vendor- managed inventory tools as well.”
