挑战

Vodafone faced the challenge of managing a complex operating environment with diverse levels of organizational maturity and processes that needed to be aligned across its global operations. The company needed a flexible, scalable supply chain solution to accommodate a growing network of global trading partners. Vodafone aimed to leverage economies of scale and scope across multiple operating units by obtaining visibility and control across its distributed trading network. The company also sought to resolve issues around data and process standardization to capture benefits associated with price transparency and strategic sourcing.

关于客户

Vodafone Group is one of the world’s largest mobile communications companies, serving more than 400 million customers and 50 partner markets with operations in over 30 countries. The company has a significant presence in the European marketplace and is expanding into new markets. Vodafone's growth has brought challenges, including managing a complex operating environment with diverse levels of organizational maturity and processes that need to be aligned across its global operations. The company has established the Vodafone Procurement Company to transform its global supply chain and procurement strategies.

解决方案

Vodafone partnered with E2open to design and build a strategic solution for seamless information sharing, process management, and exception handling. Central to the solution is E2open’s cloud-based platform, which provides a consolidated view of demand and inventory information across Vodafone’s operating companies and trading partners. The platform facilitates any-to-any data exchange, catalogue management, and harmonization of master data and buying behavior across operating companies. Vodafone also implemented an automated vendor managed inventory (VMI) program, including replenishment and financial reconciliation across all suppliers. The Vodafone Procurement Company was established to develop standardized, transparent procurement and sourcing processes, with a global team of category managers and suppliers responsible for managing and executing procurement agreements.
