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 Categories 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 Procurement: 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 Procurement and develop a centralized, strategic procurement management system.

Many medium-sized companies are facing similar challenges in their procurement management. If affected companies fail to prepare, there is a risk of serious consequences: inefficient processes, a lack of transparency and a weakened strategic position of purchasing within the company.
