CASE STUDY
Headquartered in Manila with 49 branches and 327 stores in eight retail formats across the Philippines, Robinsons Supermarket Corporation is one of the largest supermarket chains in the country.
Requirement
The merchandising team at Robinsons Supermarket is responsible for sourcing products sold in all its stores. Selecting and sourcing high quality products at reasonable prices, and on time, to offer a wider assortment of safe, innovative and nutritious products to its customers is of paramount importance to the company. Collaboration with suppliers’ network was the link in the chain that Robinsons was looking to strengthen.
Challenges faced
Information distribution was one-sided, making it impossible for suppliers to take active part in the process of product or getting the clear picture of suppliers’ response or feedback.
