A global leader in the sportswear market, adidas needs to be leading the race when it comes to supply chain management. The sheer scale of work for their global operations team was becoming unmanageable. Tasks such as onboarding new factories and purchase order management were completed on an ad-hoc basis over emails, spreadsheets and SharePoint. The supply chain support desk alone handled over 100,000 email communication threads at any given time.
adidas created an automated solution to streamline supply chain operations, connecting 500 adidas sales organizations with over 400 factories. Workflows were developed in Bizagi to standardize case handling across the organization. Bizagi can directly pull information from SAP and provide end-to-end visibility, which has reduced the factory onboarding process from four months to just 40 days. The PO team has been reduced by 66% to 16 people, and now processes over 70,000 cases per year. The supply chain support desk no longer relies on emails, and instead has a centralized view of all support tickets through the Bizagi platform.
