ALDI

Aldi

eComp helps Aldi save 50% off software costs

Result: Near 50% discount on software license price achieved through strategic negotiation.

Our client is a leading discount supermarket chain with over 800 stores in the UK & Ireland with an estimated turnover of more than €50bn, making it one of the world's largest privately owned companies.

The Challenge

This client decided to investigate launching an entirely new eCommerce proposition to the UK market and engaged eComp to support them with developing the business requirements, technology evaluation criteria, negotiation framework and RFP process through to selection.

eCommerce Platform Evaluation

The analysis phase was complex as we had to make sure the client was able to launch a market competitive proposition but also potentially cater for future requirements, which were more complex in nature. This meant we had to assess a much wider capability from technology vendors and system integrators (SI's) than what was anticipated for phase 1 launch.

Software Licensing & Negotiation

We ran a highly competitive process, which ensured the client procured the best-fit software and services and best value was achieved for our client. Working in collaboration we negotiated a near 50% discount on the software license price between the RFP response and the final price negotiation.

Result

eComp continued to be involved in a project advisory capacity helping the client to oversee the discovery phase and development project. The client launched their new UK eCommerce proposition in Q1 2016 incrementally adding more product categories over time.
