AFRICA “ It ’ s more efficient and provides them with quality data and analytics and for me it ’ s a total rebrand of what procurement can enable for the business ”
— Melanie Pike , Indirect Procurement Manager for Massmart responsible for Masscash Retail and Wholesale division
of its processes while moving services online . “ We will continue to gather more information and data and make sure that from a strategic point of view , we ’ re leveraging Massmart as a group and focusing on total cost of ownership rather than just each individual vendor and a price . We areooking at restructuring our relationships with our key vendors at Massmart as a division ,” she says .
“ It ’ s just using strategic sourcing as a division to drive value creation , not at some divisional level but at group level . I think what ’ s going to be the key driver for us over the next year , is to change that mindset from divisions to group . So , using consolidated data and standardisations as a group , and using that to consolidate , leverage and drive all the good practices .”
