The platform will enable Compass Group to develop increased transparency across the 60 countries in which it operates, and will improve efficiencies through simplified sourcing and supply management processes, BravoSolution said.

Richard Page, international purchasing director of food at Compass Group, said: BravoSolution stood head and shoulders above the competition and will really help us to take eSourcing to the next level. Many of the options we looked at were off-the-shelf solutions which required us to make significant changes to our procurement processes. With the BravoSolution platform, it was clear that we could easily tailor it to meet our own needs, avoiding lengthy and costly changes to our procurement procedures.

Nader Sabbaghian, CEO of BravoSolution, said: By working closely with Compass Group, we will be able to provide software and consulting services that are tailored exactly to their international needs. Standardization of procurement processes can be a challenge for any organization, but for those operating in multiple countries it can seem an almost impossible task. We are confident that the BravoSolution eSourcing platform will enable Compass Group to tackle this challenge head-on, while meeting its business demands and ensuring the company receives the best return on investment from its suppliers.
