Our expert reference from the metal and plastics industry
Tacto saves around 20% of the time previously spent preparing for supplier meetings. Sales and price developments can be viewed at the touch of a button. Tacto also displays the general supplier performance and development at the touch of a button and thus immediately identifies risks that can be addressed directly in discussions with the supplier.

We have already activated 150 existing suppliers via the onboarding process in Tacto and will achieve cost savings of €157,000 in 2024 via the price outlier tool.
We didn't need a tool that we have to invest 100 hours in, we needed 'plug & play' - and that is 100% given with Tacto.
What particularly impressed us was the quick and smooth implementation, along with the enthusiastic adoption by our employees from day one. Employees proactively request access to the software and are extremely satisfied with its usability.

With Tacto, we've succeeded in automating complex and manual processes such as supplier requests, freeing up time for value-adding and strategic work in procurement!
Tacto is the optimal partner for us because Tacto is perfectly tailored to the customer needs of medium-sized businesses. For example, with Tacto we can eliminate manual, non-value-added activities and get an overview of categories, articles and suppliers at the push of a button.
"We onboard 4-5 new suppliers per month. With Tacto, we save ourselves 30-60 min of time per supplier."
"We just sent Tacto a file and an unedited SAP export. Within 2 weeks we had a solution that fit for us."

With Tacto, we are significantly advancing the digitalization of our procurement process. Thanks to the user-friendly software accessible to all employees, we are transitioning away from Excel-based processes toward a fully digitalized procurement system. Just a few months after implementation, we have already observed substantial cost-saving potentials.
