Atlantic Grupa strengthens supply chain resilience and sustainability with Sphera SCRM

Challenges

The challenge: growing complexity, fragmented supplier visibility

Atlantic Grupa operates a large and diverse supplier network critical to its food and consumer goods portfolio. As regulatory requirements, sustainability expectations, and supply chain disruptions intensified, the organization faced increasing pressure to manage supplier risk more proactively and at scale.

While Atlantic Grupa had long-standing supplier evaluation and sustainability practices in place, supplier data was collected through multiple processes and reviewed periodically. Risk signals, compliance information, and sustainability metrics were not always connected, limiting the ability to:

• Maintain a single, up-to-date view of supplier risk
• Detect emerging issues early
• Prioritize actions consistently across procurement, risk, and sustainability teams
• Turn supplier data into continuous, decision-ready intelligence

Atlantic Grupa needed a more integrated, system-driven approach to supply chain risk management.

The decision: establish Sphera SCRM as a single system of supplier intelligence

Atlantic Grupa decided to move to a holistic supply chain risk management model built around Sphera SCRM.

The objective was clear:

• Create one consolidated view of each supplier
• Continuously monitor risk, compliance, and sustainability indicators
• Use consistent, objective criteria across the supplier base
• Enable faster, data-driven decisions across the organization

Sphera SCRM became the system used to collect, analyze, and operationalize supplier information across more than critical 500 suppliers.

Solution

How Sphera SCRM works at Atlantic Grupa

Sphera SCRM provides Atlantic Grupa with a unified supplier intelligence layer that connects data collection, analysis, and decision-making.

A single, continuous supplier view

Sphera SCRM consolidates:

• Internal supplier assessments and audit results
• External risk and compliance data
• Sustainability and regulatory performance indicators
• Supplier-provided information collected through structured digital workflows

All data is evaluated against predefined criteria, enabling objective comparison and prioritization across the supplier network.

Continuous monitoring and early risk detection

Rather than relying on periodic reviews, Atlantic Grupa uses Sphera SCRM for ongoing monitoring of supplier risk and sustainability performance.

This enables the organization to:

• Identify emerging risks earlier
• Track changes in supplier compliance and regulatory performance
• Detect issues that may impact operational continuity or regulatory obligations
• Maintain ongoing visibility across a complex supply chain

Intelligence-driven actions

Supplier intelligence generated by Sphera SCRM directly informs action.

Atlantic Grupa uses the platform to:

• Prioritize suppliers based on combined risk and sustainability profiles
• Trigger targeted supplier follow-up where data gaps or risks are identified
• Support compliance management and audit readiness
• Guide supplier improvement initiatives and sustainability programs
• Track progress toward Scope 3 emissions and broader ESG goals

What changed operationally

With Sphera SCRM in place, Atlantic Grupa shifted from fragmented oversight to a centralized, intelligence-led operating model.

Key changes include:

• One shared supplier view across procurement, risk, and sustainability teams
• Reduced manual effort through automated data collection and monitoring
• Objective, data-driven supplier evaluations using internal and external data
• Faster response to supply chain disruptions and regulatory changes
• Scalable governance across a growing and diverse supplier base

Sphera SCRM became embedded in daily operations rather than used only for periodic assessments.
