Case Study: Jumbo (Dutch grocer) centralizes and automates finance to ensure long-term profitability with Redwood Software

Grocer centralizes and automates to ensure long-term profitability

Jumbo, the Netherlands’ second-largest supermarket chain with over 700 locations and roughly 100,000 employees, faced the challenge of integrating several acquired brands while ensuring long-term profitability. The retailer needed to centralize back-office functions—especially finance, IT and HR—eliminate redundancies and boost productivity as it consolidated operations and reduced headcount.

Jumbo deployed Redwood Business Process Automation – Finance Edition (integrated with SAP ERP and SAP BW) to automate and centralize finance workflows, immediately automating 12 key financial processes such as intercompany, journal management, payment approvals and reconciliations. The automation enabled a single, streamlined finance team to meet targets, improved data accuracy and auditability, freed senior leaders to focus on analysis and strategy, and put Jumbo on track for cost savings and financial sustainability.
