Discover how Intersport has streamlined its decision-making by adopting an innovative supply chain strategy with e-SCM solutions.

Repositioning Intersport in a Challenging Economy

INTERSPORT France had to rethink its procurement strategy after the COVID and transport crises, focusing on supplier relationship management. To support this shift, they selected e-SCM solutions to foster closer supplier collaboration, establish transparent processes, and anticipate risks.

e-SCM’s Role in Intersport’s Transformation

Post-pandemic, INTERSPORT recognized the importance of centralizing data for reliability. The e-SCM platform has simplified operations, improved stakeholder communication, and eliminated manual data processing. By automating data collection and transport flows, the platform allows better anticipation of needs and enhances operational efficiency. It provides real-time visibility, enabling more informed decision-making.

The project was completed in just six months, with an additional 3-4 months for supplier integration, reaching target volumes in one year.
