  • Case Study Musgrave Group
    Case Study Musgrave Group Flexible accessplanit solution creates time for European retailer accessplanit saves The Musgrave Group 40% in processing time in first year The Client The Musgrave Group is a retail business with a turnover exceeding €4.5bn, operating in Spain, UK and Ireland. Founded in 1876 the business specialises in the food and grocery market with household name brands including: Budgens, Londis, SuperValu, MACE, Musgrave MarketPlace and Musgrave Foodservices. The company has a workforce of over 55,000 employees across Europe and operates from a head office in Cork, Ireland. The Business Challenge The Musgrave Group were using an out of date system ‘ProClarity’ together with a series of excel spreadsheets to manage and monitor the training and development of their 55,000 employees across 650 stores. The system was labour intensive, time consuming and extremely inefficient. The information held was difficult to access and track, and reporting was patchy and limited. The team required a system with the capability to meet their international requirements, tick all their ‘must have’ boxes and achieve all of this within a realistic budget. The accessplanit Solution By taking the time to understanding the process and limitations of Musgrave Group’s current system, accessplanit were able to advise on how the system would be the best fit, and which modules would maximise efficiency and drive out costs. accessplanit offered the smoothest transition and has the ability to handle the scale of management required whilst remaining flexible. With the accessplanit system, clients only use the modules that suit their business – you don’t pay for a set with package with features that are not relevant to your business.
