Benefit from

Local supply chain

The ideal supply chain considers the best suitability, the total cost approach (TCO) and ecological aspects (distance, means of transportation, reusable transport packaging, etc.).

Flexible partner network

You have access to our global partner network. Long-term and personal supplier relationships as well as second sourcing make our procurement more flexible and optimize our costs.

AI-supported material management

Our procurement platform makes the connection to the partner network scalable and ensures data-based decisions, transparent availability and active cost management.

Quality assurance

We require our supply partners to conform to strict quality criteria and certifications. Their performance is continuously monitored and regularly audited.

Precise material supply and active cost management

Solutions for efficient material supply are developed directly in your Customer Success Team by your Customer Buyer. From here, the supply chain of your product is managed and efficient coordination with global category management and local factory procurement is ensured. The interaction of these three pillars is the core of our procurement approach. Thanks to long-term relationships with our global partner network, we support a resilient and standard-compliant supply chain, optimized to your requirements. We are commited to the continuous development of our partner portfolio.

Global procurement power, local supply chains, and intelligent planning

Efficient cooperation with our supply partners is based on a direct personal relationship. This provides us global brain power for active management of material availability, stock levels, and costs. This strategy helps us to fulfill the highest quality requirements and individual specifications.

We use complex data analyses to generate precise and predictive material planning. We monitor global market changes and production capacity data relevant to your supply chains. AI-based tools ensure that your material costs are always optimized. We proactively can respond to changing conditions based on intelligent data to avoid overstocking and keep you informed of market conditions.

Resilient supply chains and sustainable procurement

We are convinced that long-term partnerships of integrity form the basis for stable and flexible supply chains. Our Category Managers collaborate with our supply partners to develop their competence portfolio and competitiveness to design projects efficiently and in line with requirements. Strict selection criteria and on-site audits ensure an optimal choice of partners, which in turn enables us to react quickly to market fluctuations and supply bottlenecks.

We also rely on targeted diversification, including second sourcing for critical components to increase reliability. Sustainability is an integral part of our procurement: by selecting according to strict compliance standards (Supplier Code of Conduct) as well as environmental-friendly transport and packaging strategies, we support our partners in their responsibility towards the environment and society and always ensure compliance with ecological and ethical procurement requirements.
