International. Since 2018, Sodexo and Microsoft have been working closely together to develop and disseminate digital solutions and services. The two companies announced the renewal of their global partnership for a period of 5 years.
The latter aims to develop the use of digital solutions and data to accelerate Sodexo's transformation, create a personalized relationship with the consumer and support new consumption, life and work habits.
This collaboration has already facilitated several projects:
- The SoDynamix solution, in collaboration with Accenture, to develop menu management and on-site culinary production.
- The Wando platform, for the digitized management of Facility Management requests and the monitoring of their execution.
- The PowerChef solution, based on artificial intelligence, which will allow to anticipate and adjust Sodexo services according to the traffic on the site and, therefore, reduce waste.
By creating innovative solutions through technology designed to serve everyone from the consumer to the enterprise, this latest example illustrates sodexo and Microsoft's common ambitions to create sustainable value that reduces their carbon footprint.
"For many years, we have had the privilege of serving Microsoft employees on a daily basis by offering them catering and facilities management services, in France and around the world. Reciprocally, we chose Microsoft as a partner because of its position as a key player that could face three major challenges for Sodexo: technological power, its 'multilocal' model and large-scale innovation." Sylvia Métayer, Group Growth Director, Sodexo
"The richness of our partnership with Sodexo can be explained both by the relationship of trust we have built over time around a strong sense of business, and by the common values we share. Sustainable value creation is at the heart of our collaboration, whether through technological support or very concrete commitments at the local level to advance the diversity of organisations." Corine de Bilbao, Managing Director, Microsoft France.
