How Eurogroup Maximized Value with TradeBeyond’s Platform

Choosing the Right Partner for Growth 

When Michel Solioz, Managing Director at Eurogroup and his team were looking to upgrade their current version of the TradeBeyond’s supply chain platform, they also evaluated other solutions. They were interested in a solution that could digitally transform multiple processes within their organization, not only one area of their supply chain process. Michel and his team wanted a solution that could also help address anticipated challenges.

These included: 

1. Rising pressures on cost 

2. Increasing volume of data for analysis 

3. Ensuring consistent process execution based on ISO process standards 

4. Complex regulations and documentation required in Europe 

5. Need to be able to adapt quickly to market conditions 

6. Reduce day to day administration workload 

“When we were looking for a system in the market, we evaluated how we worked and what we needed and decided that TradeBeyond’s CBX platform was the best system for us. It was easy to use and offered the essential supply chain management components that we required for our business. We wanted an end-to-end system that could help our daily activities and reduce some of our administrative complexities,” said Michel Solioz, Managing Director of Eurogroup.

From Complexity to Clarity 

Improved data access and insights through CBX’s personalized dashboards have become one of Eurogroup’s most widely used features. These dashboards play a critical role in managing large volumes of data—from product development details to EU regulatory compliance.  

They consolidate and present information drawn from several CBX solutions, including: 

• Supplier management 

• Inspection management  

• Sourcing and costing management 

• Order and quality management 

• API integration to Amfori BSCI (social risk management audit data) 

“Prior to CBX, when I wanted to analyze data I would go into excel to conduct my analysis with pivot tables where there may be mistakes. Now, I simply review my CBX dashboards and can quickly identify where the turnover is and what the key metrics are – in a click I have all the relevant information. With CBX, my team can log into the system, see their goals and current metrics as well as the to-do list from the Critical Path Management (CPM). They can then see what the open items are by division manager or by merchandiser – this has helped a lot for transparency,” said Michel Solioz, Managing Director of Eurogroup. 

In addition to gaining deeper data insights, they have also been able to overcome other key challenges—such as maintaining consistent ISO process standards and responding more quickly to market changes. With the CBX platform now driving their ISO processes, operations have become far more stable. Previously, these processes were managed manually by individuals, which often led to inconsistencies when team members left the organization. CBX has also empowered Eurogroup to stay agile and adapt swiftly to shifting market conditions.

“In the sourcing market, geopolitical, economic and climate change have significant impact and require us to be extremely flexible. We may develop a product in Vietnam but then need to move it to Bangladesh due to issues related to climate change – our internal structures have to be extremely competitive. Now with over 90% of our suppliers onboarded to CBX, we can efficiently communicate these changes to suppliers and factories."

Turning Dashboard Insights to Measurable Results 

Facing constant cost pressures and increasing regulatory requirements across Europe, Eurogroup needed to drive business growth within its existing structure. By leveraging multiple modules of the CBX platform, the company has significantly improved data quality across key supply chain functions—without a substantial rise in costs. With access to personalized dashboards, Michel’s team can now easily pinpoint the greatest opportunities for growth and prioritize where to focus their efforts. At the same time, supplier onboarding has become faster and more accurate, while Eurogroup’s optimized use of various CBX modules and their integrated data has boosted internal efficiency, resulting in notable business gains. 

Eurogroup has been able to enhance efficiency in several areas since using the CBX platform: 

• Accelerated data analysis by 30-50%, driving faster decision making

• Near instant access to actionable insights 

• Significantly shorter lead times from product concept to delivery 

“With the CBX system, it’s much simpler to see vendor data and to use it (personalized dashboards). It has given us much more transparency and visibility to our supply chain operations."
