Every great recipe needs the perfect ingredients, and when you're responsible for producing as many products as Kraft Foods does, sourcing supplies is a huge responsibility.

Not too long ago, procurement at Kraft North America wasn't seen to be performing to its full potential, with significant savings leakage identified due to the procure-to-pay process in place at the time.

Kraft was determined to upgrade its procurement software capability with a modern, Amazon-like solution, integrated into its existing SAP environment. By improving technology delivery and information management, Kraft buyers were able to improve their relations with business stakeholders and raised their overall reputation.

Join Stephane Sacherer, global service delivery manager for indirect procurement and accounts payable at Kraft Foods, and hear how the company turned Procurement from a support function to a business value driver.

Topics to be covered:

• How to avoid savings leakage
• Increasing procurement visibility, on contract buying and compliance
• The importance of the right operating model - how to integrate web technology into a standard ERP procurement set up (e.g. SAP or Oracle).
