"simple system impressed us with its simple approach, which was tailored to our company. Our requirements for optimizing procurement processes and reducing process costs were satisfied shortly after implementation. The purchasing department is relieved of the burden of procuring C-items and has free resources available for the actual core business."

The challenge

Complex structures in procurement prevent systematic consolidation of requirements with selected suppliers.

The solution

simple system makes indirect procurement completely transparent.

"We were looking for a market platform that we didn't have to worry about hosting. As the 4 shareholders of simple system are also our suppliers, we also looked at this platform. We started with simple system in November 2015.

"Our operational purchasing benefits from simple system."
Anastasia Tumanova System Specialist, Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH

We currently use 15 suppliers from Germany and 3 from Hungary. The "Reporting" function enables us to compare suppliers better. Orders can thus be bundled to fewer suppliers. Capacities such as budget and time can now be better utilized.

We particularly like simple system:

  • The comprehensive search
  • The restriction of suppliers and product groups for individual users or user groups
  • The fast connection and updates of catalogs
"With simple system, we can use our improved price conditions throughout Europe and drive forward consolidation in the MRO sector."
Anastasia Tumanova System Specialist, Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH

More than 600 users are currently using the platform from our internal systems, and in some cases individual access has already been introduced. Thanks to the comprehensive search and the simple connection of catalogs, our operational purchasing department spends less time purchasing C-parts. The use of the platform ensures significantly better organization in our purchasing department. Our employees are relieved of the burden of purchasing C-parts and can use their time more effectively. We are very satisfied with simple system and have already mentioned the platform positively in discussions with other companies."
