Context and problem
Founded in 2016, JICAP is a strategy consultancy specializing in purchasing performance. Its unique character is its 360° expertise in the purchasing function: strategy of the purchasing organization, planning of the performance of the purchasing organization, digitalization 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 around integrated management in order to better prepare for and support growth.
The multiplicity of tools that do not communicate with each other has brought to light two problems. The first is the difficulty of having a consolidated and strategic vision of the activity. The second is the loss of productivity due to administrative tasks such as double entry.
Their needs in brief:
- Have a consolidated vision of the activity, both operational and strategic
- Gain 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 software used
Before selecting Stafiz we had a certain number of software which were “stand-alone”, which were functional blocks and which did not communicate with each other. The strong growth of the firm made us realize that we had reached a threshold in terms of use of tools which no longer allowed us to evolve in line with our growth.
