Decathlon is a family-owned company founded in 1976. The organization has always been fueled by the belief that the best sports products should be accessible to everyone.
With more than 2,190 stores in 69 countries, Decathlon’s business is based on two pillars:
The creation of sports products
The distribution of those products in stores and online
Since its creation, Decathlon’s ambition has been constant. Their mission is to innovate in all areas to provide only the best to all athletes, regardless of ability. With more than 97,000 employees, this family-owned group is reinventing the way consumers approach sports. Their method is based on an integrated model, controlling all the stages of their product’s life—from research and development to sales, including design, production, and logistics.
With more than 11 billion euros in revenue by 2020, the group is committed to continuous innovation in their products, the services offered in stores, and the development of cross channel, and customer satisfaction.
The company relies on agile technology to reinforce transparency and the collaboration of indirect procurement teams.
Known for their dynamism and creativity, Decathlon knew it was essential that they be equipped with the most advanced procurement solutions. Decathlon decided to launch a pilot with Per Angusta during the second quarter of 2021. The objective was to contribute to the deployment of indirect procurement policy and to ensure continuous procurement performance on a global scale.
During the four-week project phase, the buyers’ teams were involved in defining the platform’s parameters and enabling the operating methods. Those were tested and successfully configured during this initial test phase.
The following elements provided added value for Decathlon:
Easy adoption for all buyers, regardless of their experience with previous tools or their position in the organization
The ability to pursue and enrich the action plans for upcoming periods
Improved interaction with key stakeholders that enhanced collaboration and transparency
Direct monitoring and reporting to help save time for teams
Five months after the first discussion, Decathlon’s indirect procurement platform is fully operational, approved, and acclaimed by users and management.
This leading transport group operating bus, coach, rail and tram services, says Per Angusta has “raised the profile of procurement in the organization and given our teams more visibility and credibility with management.”
This fast-moving consumer goods company says Per Angusta means “having the right data and the right engagement helps us enhance how people see Global Procurement.”
