M&S are using the GNX FIND (Food
INnovation
Database) platform to manage its New Product Development
activities. M&S is the only major food retailer to sell 100% own
brand products, this project is therefore of significant strategic
importance to M&S as it is the first time they have used a
software solution that both manages the full product development
life-cycle and also forms a centralised database of product
information.
The adoption of FIND across the Food Division
formed a central pillar of the M&S drive for consistent and
effective business processes as part of the "Simply more
Efficient" corporate directive.
Marks & Spencer went live with the FIND
solution in January 2004 and Ashbury Training has helped in the
transition of the current product lifecycle activities to FIND.
The process will be completed in December 2005 and Ashbury
continue to offer support on all new product developments to the
system.
