KFC selects Wax Digital for eProcurement
High street restaurant chain chooses Wax Digital to manage £85m in annual requisitions across 282 stores in the UK.
Wax Digital has been selected by high street restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken to implement an eProcurement system to manage the requisitions from its 282 stores throughout the UK.
The new
system manages procurement from suppliers of 'MRO goods', such as the company's
stationery and IT goods, as well as 'goods for resale' - essentially food and
drink - which is the mission critical part of the business.
Each of our store managers requires the ability to
manage orders for their own store with increased ease, speed and autonomy
and we chose Wax Digital eProcurement for its breadth of functionality
and ease of use. It means we can automatically apply rolling budget restrictions,
streamline approvals, engage with our suppliers electronically and deliver
web-based goods receipting to our entire chain of stores.

Wax Digital eProcurement is a web-based solution that offers rich, customisable functionality with a highly intuitive user interface, such that the requirement for end user training is eliminated. This was vital in the decision making process for KFC, given the potential cost of having to train users in more than 280 sites.
Key features of the KFC solution include:
- Secure web-based purchasing, linked seamlessly to KFC's existing ERP system
- Sophisticated approvals processes and real-time budgetary controls
- Supplier portal for electronic catalogue management and processing of transactional documents such as orders and invoices
- Integrated logistics and goods receipting
KFC expects that the Wax Digital solution will produce substantial savings
through improvements in management information, elimination of manual processes
and reduction in order errors and returns. Additional savings are delivered
from lower maverick spend, supply-chain rationalisation and improved product
sourcing.
