What was the situation?
Across two CDIO mandates for Adeo, supplier referencing ran on a manual queue while the supply chain and finance estate carried aging OMS, TMS and offer-legacy systems, so onboarding took months and infrastructure cost stayed high across 22 business units in 16 countries.
What did ARCHITEKT do?
As CDIO for Retail, Supply Chain & Finance and then for Central Purchasing & Stores, Erwan Deschamps rebuilt supplier onboarding and referencing to run at marketplace scale, implemented a modern digital supply chain, and dismantled the legacy OMS, TMS and offer systems.
What changed, measurably?
Onboarding scaled to over 7,000 new suppliers, referencing lead time collapsed from 124 to 15 days, on-time-in-full delivery rose 8%, and dismantling the legacy OMS, TMS and offer systems produced EUR 9.5M in combined FinOps savings.
Adeo’s assortment stopped waiting on a manual referencing queue, so thousands of suppliers reached the shelf in days instead of months, while a second mandate rebuilt the supply chain and dismantled the legacy systems behind it.
How does supplier onboarding scale to thousands?
The referencing workflow was rebuilt to run at marketplace scale, so each new supplier followed a self-serve path instead of a hand-worked file, which is what took referencing lead time from 124 down to 15 days.
How does dismantling legacy systems free up the supply chain?
A modern digital supply chain replaced the aging OMS and TMS, so on-time-in-full delivery rose 8% while retiring the OMS, TMS and offer-legacy systems returned EUR 9.5M in combined FinOps savings across the two mandates.
