Case Study: Shoprite achieves 18% reduction in PO cycle times and 50% fewer PO changes with Bamboo Rose

Shoprite - Customer Case Study

Shoprite, Africa’s largest grocery retailer with billions in annual sales and thousands of global suppliers, faced complex international sourcing across tens of thousands of SKUs. Reliant on multiple manual systems and spreadsheets, the company struggled with high operational costs, long PO/import/export lead times and limited supply‑chain visibility.

Bamboo Rose delivered a single source of truth for sourcing, PO management and global trade, re‑engineering processes and roles to improve collaboration and forecasting. With 92% of import suppliers on the platform, Shoprite cut PO cycle times by 18%, reduced PO changes by 50%, lowered manual effort and operational costs, and gained clearer P2P visibility and lead‑time control.
