JICAP is a purchasing consultancy with annual growth of 50%. Against this backdrop, the Jicap teams turned to Stafiz to support their growth and structure. Their objective was to gain a consolidated view of their activity, to better manage it and increase their productivity.
Until then, they had been using an off-the-shelf CRM and excel files to manage their business.

Background and issues
Founded in 2016, JICAP is a strategy consultancy specializing in purchasing performance. Its uniqueness lies in its 360° expertise of the purchasing function: purchasing organization strategy, purchasing organization performance planning, digitalization of purchasing function processes, CSR, risk management and supply chain.
The context of strong growth (+50% every year) has logically led us to think in terms of integrated management to better prepare and support growth.
The multiplicity of tools that don't communicate with each other has given rise to two problems. The first is the difficulty of having a consolidated, strategic vision of the business. The second is the loss of productivity due to administrative tasks such as double data entry.
Their needs in brief :
- Have a consolidated vision of the business, both operational and strategic
- Increase productivity by no longer requiring resources for administrative management of separate tools.
- A single tool to manage all back-office operations
- Save money on software
Before selecting Stafiz, we had a number of stand-alone software packages, which were functional blocks that didn't communicate with each other. The firm's strong growth made us realize that we had reached a threshold in terms of tool usage that no longer allowed us to evolve in line with our growth.

Jicap produced a complete and very strict specification for this project. Stafiz turned out to be the tool that best met the specifications, covering all functional blocks in an integrated way, including resource planning, HR, expense management, and project financial management with profitability monitoring in particular. Data consolidation really helped to align operational management and strategic vision.
Stafiz's value for money was also perfect.
Jicap saved 25% on software costs.
"We had the chance to talk to the founder for commercial exchanges and we have a single 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."
