Enhanced Supply Chain and Financial Planning through Integrated Intelligence at Sogegross

Sogegross, a large-scale Italian retailer, was faced with the challenge of managing a complex supply chain and financial planning process. The company needed an operational and organizational information system that could align their business needs with IT requirements within their intricate retail chain. The complexity of their operations required a planning solution that could transform an unstructured information system into a more standardized and functional one. Sogegross' supply chain includes seven platforms dedicated to specific types of products, including fresh food, fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, dry and fresh discounters, packaged food, and frozen products. Annually, they manage over 65,000 tons of fresh products and more than 33,000,000 boxes of packaged goods.
