We are seeing increasing regulatory requirements, more complex supply chains and staff shortages in medium-sized purchasing departments. These problems mean that there is no time left for the strategic development of purchasing. However, a transformation and strategic repositioning can unleash untapped potential and establish the purchasing organization as a key value driver for the company.

In our live webinar "Revolution of the purchasing department with DOYMA: Transformation of purchasing in SMEs - Part 2" with Pascal Linde, Head of Purchasing & Scheduling, and Karoline Rückerl, product expert at Tacto, we will use practical examples to show you how you can revolutionize your purchasing department and thus strategically reposition it within your company.

Purchasing plays a central role at DOYMA, as up to 70% of total costs are incurred through the purchase of goods and services. Efficient procurement processes increase competitiveness, ensure product quality and sustainability and promote innovation.

The first part of the webinar series presented the initial transformation process. The focus here was on the conversion of purchasing from a purely operational function to a strategic potential department. By implementing Tacto, DOYMA was able to make its procurement processes more efficient and thus contribute to reducing costs and improving supplier satisfaction.

The collaboration with Tacto and the further development of strategic purchasing have enabled specific targets to be defined and costs to be saved. These include

  • Increase in inquiry intensity
  • Reduction in purchasing volume by 2.5
  • Development of alternative suppliers
  • Centralization of purchasing for the entire holding company
  • Reduction of stock levels by 12
  • Digital and centralized management of supplier documentation

DOYMA was able to successfully achieve these goals through targeted collaboration with Tacto:

  1. Digitization of the LkSG requirements
  2. Automation of supplier management
  3. Automation of document and certificate management
  4. Automation of price inquiries
  5. Analysis of price outliers for inventory optimization

Outlook

Tacto acts as a supplementary SRM system for managing strategic processes in purchasing and along the supply chain. The partnership with Tacto and the automation and digitalization of processes has enabled DOYMA to revolutionize its purchasing department and achieve significant efficiency gains and cost savings.
