Puma AG

Global Business System, a Supply Chain Management System

Puma’s sourcing organization, World Cat required a web based supply chain management system for managing the order information through its 13-stage production lifecycle.

The GBS helped increase the efficiency of Puma’s business units by over 50%.

GBS helped Puma to achieve three main objectives 

  1. Share the fulfillment of information between World Cat and its suppliers and service providers
  2. Provide near real-time view to its customers
  3. Help manage order information through its 13-stage production
    lifecycle
