Retailer Speeds Purchasing Decisions, Saving $600,000 Annually in
Merchandise Costs
Mydin Mohamed Holdings is the largest discount retailer in Malaysia with
17 stores spread throughout the country. Mydin relentlessly pursues
bargains from suppliers to execute its everyday low price philosophy. To
take advantage of short-lived supplier promotions, Mydin required a
quick procurement process and an accurate assessment of store inventory.
To improve communications between buyers and stores, Mydin created
workflows using Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services sites to
document all current products, manage inventory levels, and handle new
product requests from stores. The new processes have significantly
reduced the cycle time for purchasing decisions, enabling Mydin to take
advantage of more of the short-lived promotions that suppliers offer.
Mydin passes along the discounts to its customers but estimates that the
additional sales generated have increased annual profits by nearly
U.S.$300,000.
