SUPPLY CHAIN
I didn ’ t know companies like this existed
– Rone Luczynski , President of the Procurement Division and Senior Managing
Director of Supply Chain
The first five years of Luczynski ’ s transformation initiative involved a fundamental foundational change , focusing on people , processes , and technology .
“ First , we had to hire the right people , and then begin documenting absolutely everything ,” Luczynski says . “ After that we were finally able to develop an item hierarchy and get systems in place ; we began using Coupa ’ s Procureto-Pay system , ensuring we could track spend data and analytics . This gave us the information we needed to move the company ’ s culture from a decentralized one to the center-led system so we could leverage our scale .”

Due to the family-orientated nature of the business , this initial road map was made into a five-year road map as opposed to a traditional threeyear road map . In Luczynski ’ s words : “ We ’ re never going to let our process get in the way of helping a family . Our locations do an amazing job each and every day helping families at a difficult time of need and we didn ’ t want to do anything to disrupt that relationship .”
