Without tacto
B and C parts make up a significant proportion of VEMAG's procurement volume. The lack of transparency regarding quantity developments, price scales and individual prices meant that potential savings were difficult to identify. Strategic decisions in Procurement, such as switching to quantity contracts or adjusting batch sizes, could only be made with a great deal of manual effort.

Results achieved
Identification of price outliers through data-based analyses
Conclusion of new volume contracts on the basis of demand bundling
Adjustment of batch sizes for cost optimization
"Tacto's Procurement Analytics provides very good transparency about the quantity and price trends for B and C parts. By recognizing these conspicuous components and the resulting requests for graduated prices as well as the change in batch sizes and the partial conclusion of new quantity contracts, we expect to save more than 157,000 euros in 2024."
