Supermercati Tosano is one of the main exponents of Organized Distribution in the territory between the Provinces of Verona, Vicenza and Mantua.

At the beginning of the second half of the 2000’s, the company began a growth path characterized by the development of turnover both with network parity as well as with new openings. They made a very important commercial choice, accomplishing a food-only hypermarket format, with a very wide and far-reaching offer, continuity in offering very low prices and absence of promotional activities, thus obtaining immediate consumer-appreciation.

In this context, the company was faced with the need to have new tools and support models for commercial governance and network control, as well as for the control of the Human Resources area.

Supermercati Tosano then adopted the solutions of E3 Suite to the following areas:

• The Commercial area; supplying a very detailed Repository with sales data on receipt lines and all handling of goods in logistics; the activation of a daily reporting, on a daily basis and with special weekly attention, monitoring profit margin differences; an assortment verification at the beginning of each week based on sales and purchase data from the previous weeks; fresh department scales and the overall inventory are processed every three or four weeks, determining the differences by comparing the theoretical  profit margin to the actual profit margin
• The Human Resources area;  supplying a daily collection of employee attendance data for each person and cost center; the daily determination of the cost of temporary agency work based on the details of store attendance and tariff agreements with temporary employment companies; the provision of all reporting services.

Thanks to E3 Suite, Tosano Supermarkets has achieved a steady increase in marginality and productivity over the past 10 years with increasingly better-assorted stores. The management control function has also been strengthened from an organizational point of view.
