KELLOGG’S WINS TWO AWARDS AT IQPC SHARED SERVICES WEEK

OB10’s client, Kellogg’s, celebrates their two awards won in Barcelona at the IQPC Shared Services Week. Kellogg’s won the highest achievement award – ‘Shared Service Centre Organisation of the Year’ – which acknowledges Kellogg’s emphasis on efficient automation and procurement and the ‘Shared Services Employer of the Year Award.’

Kellogg’s, the world’s largest manufacturer of Ready to Eat Cereals, producing over 40 cereal brands in 160 countries, adopted OB10’s e-Invoicing solution to manage their inbound invoices. The implementation of e-Invoicing enables Kellogg’s to reduce costs, improve customer service and to move up the value chain. Furthermore, it gives the company the ability to streamline processes and re-employ people into more value added tasks.

John Gregory, Director of European Shared Services said: “We are delighted to have won these awards and receive recognition of our efforts. The categories which we won – Shared Services Employer of the Year and Shared Service Centre Organisation of the Year – are of particular importance to us, as our employees are an integral part of our success.”

Jamie Gunn, CEO, OB10 said: “We are proud that Kellogg’s has received such a prestigious accolade and hope that this signifies not only a recognition of present success but also the future ambitions of Kellogg’s. Kellogg’s has set the benchmark for successful shared services.”
