80% time savings in supplier management through digitization

Electronic procurement was intended to significantly reduce the existing time spent on manual tasks and create more room for strategic projects and procurement-related topics."
Successes
- 80% time savings through the digitization of supplier requests and certificate management, along with automatic reminders
- Very intuitive usability across all user levels
- Freeing up capabilities for strategic initiatives in procurement through significant time savings in supplier management
"We didn't need a tool that required us to invest 100 hours; we needed 'plug & play,' and that's 100% what Tacto provides." - Dr. Burghart, Chief Procurement Officer

Challenge
In the procurement department at SED Flow Control, one of the biggest challenges was the lack of transparency regarding supplier data and the procurement volume.

Successes
- Holistic data transparency about suppliers and their procurement volumes and price developments
- 80% time savings in preparation for supplier negotiations and 50% time savings in internal discussions on supplier developments
- Direct cost savings by leveraging price potentials, which are identified at the push of a button by Tacto
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, thus immediately revealing risks that can be addressed directly in discussions with the supplier.
