The Philippines' multi-format retailer The Robinsons Retail Group has adopted Manthan System's solution that will enable the company to standardise and automate end-to-end order to purchasing cycle, get visibility across sales, inventory, and payment data through embedded analytics, and finally build sustainable and profitable relationships.

Manthan's software, called ARC supplier portal and analytics or ARC SPA, is one solution designed for such pervasive levels of collaboration in the retail industry, said Cesar Solomon, Jr., chief information officer of the Robinsons Retail Group.

"Our investment in ARC SPA is part of the group's well-conceived and far-sighted strategy towards improving vendor relations and achieving overall business efficiency through high-level supplier collaboration," he said.
