The Project
The Benefits
- Athito offered us the ability to hit the ground running knowing that what we were set to build and deliver was best of breed and absolutely right for our needs.
- Experiencing purchasing and supply challenges?
- An independent, fast paced immersion and identification of the purchasing and supply function in M&S, resulting in the development of a future strategy and plans to deliver the strategy across people, process and technology.
- Identified that technology alone would not be the solution and the need to change culture and processes not only in-house but in (global) suppliers too.
- Facilitated the engaged of a cross section of teams across the business including suppliers, to form a technical requirement offered to the market through a procurement process managed by Athito.
- Developed a rigorous procurement process with AX12 selected as the solution and built and managed the end to end process from supplier selection, requirements, build, test and launch.
- Took the team and relevant dependent internal departments and external suppliers on a carefully managed journey with clear reporting and risk management process in place.
