Many companies face the challenge of optimizing their purchasing structures across different locations and subsidiaries. Decentralized structures, different processes and a fragmented supplier base often hinder the strategic development of purchasing. However, centralization and strategic realignment can unleash untapped potential and establish the purchasing organization as a key value driver for the company.
In our exclusive live webinar "Procurement centralization across locations & subsidiaries: High synergy effects through uniform supplier onboarding, conditions and product groups at B.I.G." with Olaf Schlingmann, Consultant Strategic Procurement at Berlin.Industrial.Group., and Karoline Rückerl, Head of Customer Development at Tacto, we will show you how you can centralize your purchasing processes through innovative approaches and intelligent technologies and thus achieve considerable synergy effects.
B.I.G. (Berlin.Industrial.Group.), an association of specialized technology companies and start-ups, was facing typical challenges in purchasing: separate purchasing departments, different ERP systems and a supplier landscape that was too fragmented. By working with Tacto, B.I.G. was able to sustainably transform its purchasing and develop a centralized, strategic purchasing management system.
Many medium-sized companies are facing similar challenges in their procurement management. If affected companies do not prepare, there is a risk of serious consequences: inefficient processes, a lack of transparency and a weakened strategic position of purchasing within the company.
1. standardization of supplier onboarding: one-time onboarding of suppliers across all subsidiaries with uniform standards.
2. standardized supplier evaluations: Transparency about supplier performance and building long-term partnerships.
3. Consolidation of suppliers: Joint requests via Tacto for savings through the consolidation of price requests.
4. strengthening purchasing power: realizing synergy effects by acting as a group vis-à-vis suppliers.
5. strategic product group management: development of uniform strategies across product groups for risk management, partnerships and prioritization.
