Case Study: Colruyt standardizes eSourcing and boosts supplier collaboration with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Colruyt - Customer Case Study

Colruyt, Belgium’s leading supermarket chain known for collaborative supplier relationships, needed an eSourcing program that reflected its values and improved consistency across teams. After a market review it selected Unit4 Source-to-Contract by Scanmarket for its functionality, security and intuitive UX, aiming to standardize sourcing processes, preserve category knowledge, expand supplier sourcing and improve market intelligence while rolling the platform out to business operating units (BOUs) with focused education and support.

The S2C rollout—delivered with training and local support—quickly gained traction: one BOU completed more than 50 projects in year one, eight BOUs have run events and adoption has exceeded expectations. Suppliers praised the increased transparency and level playing field, the platform proved user-friendly, and Colruyt cites adaptability, stakeholder support and shared learnings as keys to the program’s early success.
