Customer description
Oculus Optikgeräte develops first-class ophthalmological instruments that are used to diagnose eye conditions and vision problems. The product range extends from classic optical spectacles to highly complex devices that can, for example, examine the cornea or the inside of the eye for pathologies.
In addition, Oculus offers supportive optical aids for corneal surgeons, for example. Over the past three years, Oculus has recorded impressive growth, both in terms of turnover and the number of employees, with double-digit percentage growth rates.
Without tacto
As the company grew rapidly, the demands on supplier management also increased. Supplier information was spread across different drives, systems and Excel files - without a central database. A structured evaluation was only possible with considerable effort.
Although the purchasing and operations teams were able to assess suppliers qualitatively, they could not compare them objectively or analyze them strategically. This made both negotiations and the continuous development of the supplier portfolio more difficult.

Objective comparability as a basis for strategic decisions in Procurement
"What I have always experienced in the past: You don't have a central tool for your supplier information where you can actually retrieve and evaluate it. The information is always somewhere behind some drive. But I can't select, compare or evaluate it here - and that's exactly the problem that Tacto solves."
Sven Weber
Head of Operations, Oculus Optical Devices
Outlook with Tacto
Oculus plans to further expand the supplier evaluation system - for example by integrating additional KPIs, ESG criteria or cross-location evaluations. Tacto forms the central foundation for managing growth and quality in the supply chain efficiently and with data support.
