Procurement needs agile systems in order to continuously develop, use AI effectively and work proactively with data. Artificial intelligence offers enormous potential here: from automated order quantity optimization and customer database linking to AI-supported supplier bundling, it can revolutionize the entire process and take procurement to a new strategic level.
In our exclusive live webinar "Preparing for AI in procurement with Atlantic ZEISER: What procurement needs to do today to be AI-ready in the future" with Thomas Wronski, Procurement Supervisor at Atlantic ZEISER, and Karoline Rückerl, Head of Customer Development at Tacto, we explain how an SRM system can shed light on the black box of your ERP processes and pave the way for successful procurement 4.0.
Atlantic ZEISER, a leading manufacturer of equipment for digital printing solutions, was facing typical challenges in purchasing: a high manual effort in the search for key figures, a high lack of transparency and outdated data due to the black box ERP system led to a reactive instead of strategic function of purchasing.
The digitalization of supplier evaluation with Tacto enabled Atlantic ZEISER to collect all relevant data centrally, automate processes and gain transparency about supplier performance. This laid the foundation for the use of AI in purchasing.
1. key figure analysis: All KPIs at a glance that were previously difficult to find.
2. supplier bundling: Transparency regarding the number of articles per supplier.
3. batch size optimization for B and C parts: Uncover potential savings by increasing the batch size.
4. order quantity optimization: automatic creation of a concrete to-do list for the order.
5. Customer database link: Central database that enables customers to benefit from data from overlapping suppliers.
Tacto offers a future-oriented solution for the integration of AI-based supplier evaluations in medium-sized companies. By using a central platform, companies can significantly increase their efficiency and minimize risks. The solution makes it possible to centralize supplier data, automate evaluation processes and gain deeper insights into supplier performance.
