Case Study: Leading European Pharmaceuticals Retailer achieves 100% increase in new product launches and sub-hour supplier onboarding with Algonomy's Vendor Link

A Leading European Pharmaceuticals Retailer Cracks Key Supplier Collaboration Challenges

Leading European Pharmaceuticals Retailer, the country’s largest pharmacy chain with 400+ stores and 600+ suppliers, struggled with slow, paper-based supplier collaboration that limited new product launches to a 50% success rate. To expedite launches and eliminate manual bottlenecks, the retailer selected Algonomy’s Vendor Link supplier collaboration platform to automate onboarding, verification and product data workflows.

Algonomy implemented Vendor Link with API integration to government vendor records, GS1 datapool auto-fill for product attributes, a manufacturing QA module, in-app notifications and unified master data integration. The solution cut supplier onboarding from 1–2 months to under an hour, reduced product onboarding from ~2 months to 1 week, accelerated vendor-issue resolution by 70%, and delivered a 100% increase in new product registrations.
