Groupe Castel Integrates Purchasing and Suppliers Via 100% Web-Based Interactive Management Solution

Overview The Groupe Castel, founded in Bordeaux, France, in 1949 by the Castel brothers, is structured around four major product lines - wine, water, beer, and sparkling drinks under licence. The company wanted to streamline and improve control over purchasing processes and centralize purchasing of dry materials, such as bottles, stoppers, caps, and labels. The challenge was to control the local application of centrally negotiated supplier terms and allow the company to effectively and efficiently issue global invitations to tender for several thousand items. The company deployed Clipack SRM, an interactive purchase management solution based on Oracle Application Server J2EE, to improve the effectiveness of the company's procurement processes.
