Purchasing
We offer purchasing solutions (connecting processes):
From classic purchasing services (BPO) to handling complex purchasing projects for C-processes in procurement. From the identification of demand to the final delivery. Thanks to our extended service portfolio encompassing customs and logistics, we are optimally placed to cover the full supply chain.
BPO (business process outsourcing) enables you to concentrate on your core business. Successful BPO will increase efficiency and enhance business success. You will then be in a position to take strategic action without burdening yourself operationally. The benefit for you: you become leaner and more transparent. By standardising our own core process, we achieve efficient cost optimisation with a lower error rate.
The requirements are complex. That’s why we rely on consistent quality management from the purchasing stage onward to meet your quality requirements. BPO is backed up by an innovative reporting system for monitoring, and compliance with, defined KPIs (key performance indicators). You profit from the highest possible transparency in your purchasing process.

We offer you: First-class support through standardised processes plus a constant desire to make processes more efficient. From operational procurement (P2P) to purchasing for defined commodity groups, we reinforce your value chain as a condition of sustainably and measurably increasing your purchasing objective.
Material planning / Forecast management
Our Purchasing division also offers material planning as a service. The planning criteria are defined according to each customer’s specifications. This serves as the starting point for demand determination, in which needs are identified with the aid of a SAP planning run. Additional modules such as the Planning Cockpit allow more refined demand determination using various forecast models. Monthly stock analyses evaluate stock evolution as the basis for corrective action.
Connecting processes – we look forward to meeting you.
