Context and issues
Founded in 2016, JICAP is a strategy consulting firm specializing in procurement performance. Its uniqueness is its 360° expertise in the procurement function: strategy of the purchasing organization, performance planning of the purchasing organization, digitization of the processes of the purchasing function, CSR, risk management and supply chain.
The context of strong growth (+50% each year) has logically led to reflection on integrated management in order to better prepare for and support growth.
The multiplicity of tools that do not communicate with each other has led to the emergence of two problems. The first is the difficulty of having a consolidated and strategic vision of the business. The second is the loss of productivity due to administrative tasks to be carried out such as double entry.
Their needs at a glance:
- Have a consolidated vision of the activity, both operational and strategic
- Gain in productivity by no longer requiring resources for the administrative management of separate tools.
- Have a single tool to manage the entire back office
- Save money on the software used
Before selecting Stafiz we had a number of software programs that were "stand-alone", which were functional blocks and which did not communicate with each other. The firm's strong growth made us realize that we had reached a threshold in terms of the use of tools that no longer allowed us to evolve in line with our growth.

Solution provided
Jicap has drawn up a complete and very strict set of specifications for this project. Stafiz proved to be the tool that best met the specifications by covering all the functional blocks in an integrated way including the resource planning, the HR part, the management of expense reports, the financial management of the project with the monitoring of profitability in particular. Data consolidation has really enabled alignment between operational management and strategic vision.
Stafiz's price-performance ratio was also perfect.
Jicap has achieved a 25% savings on software costs.
"We had the chance to discuss with the founder for commercial exchanges and we have a single point of contact, our account manager, to steer and lead the implementation of the solution: mirror effect between our company and Stafiz, the needs were immediately understood and listened to: perfect relationship."
