PRESS RELEASE OF JUNE 20, 2023
Monday, June 19, 2023, on the occasion of the 16Th Republik Group Purchasing Trophies award ceremony, Acxias, the agency Digital Purchasing, was awarded a “Special Jury Prize” for his video series “ Purple ". This prize rewards an innovative and original initiative to present purchases and the contribution of digital solutions to the business. Unheard of in this field!
The candidacy for the Trophies?
To designate the winners, the candidates of the 93 applications in the running first came to "pitch" during a Grand Oral, before the votes were opened and the jury deliberated. Consisting of four episodes, the first season of Purple presents trends and digital innovations at the service of buyers, and promotes the function. This, in an offbeat and humorous way, on the principle of "Back to the future", by projecting a buyer from the 90s into our time, after a buyer from today has herself been teleported to the past.
The Purple Series?
In the first episode, Purple first explains how, in 2023, a digital purchasing solution makes it possible to simplify and secure operations, with a reduction in costs and processing times. The following three episodes detail the advantages of such a solution for the purchasing, procurement and supplier accounting teams, but also for the applicants (specifiers, end users), then discuss the calculation of the return on investment of a digital purchasing project.
The following ?
This “special prize” awarded by Républik Achats encourages Acxias in its approach to promoting the function and solutions for digitizing the purchasing, supply chain and supplier accounting processes. The agency also intends to rely on this trophy to continue its efforts in terms of technological innovations, in connection with the SAP Ariba solution, and to communicate more about the benefits of digitalization in order to better serve the ecosystem.
Reactions
Bertrand Gabriel, Founding President and Director of Development, Acxias : “Purple primarily showcases digital trends and innovations in shopping. But this informative and innovative experience is also a fun and original medium to give another image of the buyers' profession beyond the purchasing ecosystem.
Aurélia Tremblaye, SVP & Group CPO chez Engie, membre du jury : “Purchasing still often suffers from an image deficit, and they have to work on this point. We found the video extremely well done, the initiative very refreshing. It puts purchases back in the spotlight. It is a very good tool for promoting the digitization of the function. »
Alain Bensimhon, Chief Executive Officer of BPCE Achats, member of the jury : “We were enthusiastic about the quality of the presentation, extremely dynamic and which, in 3 minutes, made you want to watch all the episodes. This was part of the selection criteria, so we chose to distinguish this file by awarding it a special prize”
