Customer Overview
Julie’s Franchise Corporation (JFC) administers the franchise network of one of the Philippines’ longest-running bakeshop chains. Founded in 1981 and established as a franchise network in 1998, the business today operates more than 600 stores across the Philippines.
A network this size puts constant pressure on sourcing. Ingredients, packaging, and materials must be secured at consistent cost and quality for every store the brand supplies, so supplier selection is a decision the procurement team makes often, and each one carries real cost.
The Business
Supplier selection sits at the center of JFC’s cost structure. The prices and terms negotiated with every ingredient and packaging supplier feed directly into the cost of every product the network sells.
Evaluating a single bid means reading contract terms that differ from vendor to vendor and reconciling them into one comparable view before a recommendation can be made. Done by hand, that work is slow and unstructured.
