Customer description
For 70 years, SONAX has stood for a strong brand in car care and develops and produces almost all of its cleaning and care products itself in Neuburg. SONAX GmbH is part of the Hoffmann Group and has a wholly owned subsidiary: DuroDruck GmbH.
Having started out as a pioneer in car care, SONAX is now also a premium product manufacturer in the bicycle and caravan industry. The company has also opened up further markets - in the agricultural industry, forestry and the construction industry. SONAX is positioned as the German and Austrian market leader in its sector and is constantly working on new solutions, applications and products for its customers.
Without tacto
With a growing supplier network and increasing regulatory requirements, the effort required to maintain and manage supplier master data increased considerably at SONAX. Information was scattered across various systems and Excel lists - with a high need for coordination and a great deal of manual maintenance.
Especially when it came to maintaining contact information, classifications or certificates, there was no central solution that could be used quickly and easily by all those involved - without complicated system introductions or long onboarding processes.
With Tacto
With Tacto, SONAX was able to establish a fully digital supplier management system - simply, quickly and without lengthy IT projects. The platform provides a central overview of all relevant supplier data and automates maintenance and update processes.
Results achieved
80% time savings in master data maintenance thanks to centralized data entry
Standardized supplier database for Procurement, quality and other departments
Fast, intuitive introduction without high training or implementation costs
"We didn't need a tool that we had to invest 100 hours in, we needed 'plug & play' - and Tacto gives us 100% of that."
Dr. Stephanie Burghart
Chief Procurement Officer, SONAX
Outlook with Tacto
SONAX plans to use the central supplier platform for further functions in the future - including automated supplier evaluations, document management and the integration of regulatory requirements such as LkSG. Tacto forms the digital basis for efficient and future-proof supplier management.
