Webinar Recording - Digital Procurement in medium-sized industrial companies: Best Practices from BME Procurement Excellence Award Winner Mobil Elektronik

Up to 80% of the time in mid-sized procurement organizations is spent on operational tasks: data analysis, supplier management, and RfQs are handled using tools like Excel, Word, etc., making strategic work difficult. Especially in the turbulent recent years, it has become evident that future-proof procurement in the mid-sized sector requires digitalization as the primary driver for increased efficiency and resilience.

‍

This year, MOBIL ELEKTRONIK ME was the first medium-sized industrial companies to receive the BME Procurement Excellence Award for its successful project "Future-proof procurement through data-driven decisions and automation of manual tasks". The results speak for themselves: After a quick implementation time of just a few weeks, ME was already able to achieve significant savings in procurement as well as save up to 50% time in operational procurement processes.

‍

In our interactive webinar "Digital Procurement in medium-sized industrial companies: Best Practices from BME Procurement Excellence Award Winner Mobil Elektronik", Robin Lippmann, Head of Procurement & Materials Management at ME, presents the BME award-winning digitalization project: Practical from the initial situation to implementation and profitability. Questions we address are:

‍

✅ Where do you start in a medium-sized industrial company and what is the target picture?

✅ How to convince management & employees?

✅ How has ME digitized procurement with the help of Tacto?

✅ What are trip hazards and how do I avoid them?

‍

The BME justifies the award as follows: "ME Mobil Elektronik receives the Procurement Excellence Award 2022 for its innovative concept for optimizing procurement processes. ME Procurement has implemented Tacto for process digitization, a software that adapts to the needs of ME buyers and does not dictate which processes can and cannot be mapped."
