To meet these expectations and also in line with the Indian government’s policies to stimulate growth in export of food commodity, Allanasons decided to digitalize its procurement processes.

It has enhanced communication and collaboration both internally and with our suppliers,” says Gadaginavar.

Now on one centralized platform, Allanasons manages more than US$21 million of procurement activity and has standardized direct and indirect purchasing processes.
