Introduction

Etos is a drugstore chain in the Netherlands and part of Ahold Delhaize. Founded in 1919 by Philips and grown into the 3rd biggest drugstore chain in Holland with over 540 locations. They started as a mix of a drugstore and a supermarket but in 1973 Etos has specialized in being a drugstore specifically.

The challenge

Developing an application for Etos franchisors so every franchiser can purchase products for their stores which aren’t in the standard product range. For instance theme products for Christmas, Easter or Mothersday. The themes and products are entered by the category managers, who consult the suppliers about the amounts and costs for the product import.

The solution

We created two individual environments. One environment for Aholds’ category managers in which products and theme’s can be entered and/or changes and including an overview of placed orders. The second environment is for franchisors in which they can search for products per theme, place orders and give suggestions for specific wishes.

The value

With the CKW application, the Etos franchisor has more freedom in their purchase choices for products that aren’t in the standard product range. This ensures more flexibility in the order process which leads to increased operational efficiency in the preparation of certain theme periods.
