Case Study: Coop achieves significant procurement savings with valantic

Coop achieves double-digit million savings with Valantic

Valantic assisted Coop, a leading Swiss retail group, to address challenges from decentralized procurement. This structure, managed autonomously by various production plants, led to a lack of transparency and a high number of suppliers. The goal was to centralize and optimize procurement processes while preserving the individual needs of each production unit.

The solution implemented by valantic involved a comprehensive analysis and centralization of procurement. They analyzed procurement volumes, optimized 51 spend categories through centralized negotiations, and established a permanent central procurement organization. This approach resulted in significant double-digit million Swiss Franc savings for Coop, with particularly high annual savings in areas like packaging, and created a foundation for ongoing efficiency and staff development.
