The challenge

Hardly any company starts from scratch. Standard eProcurement solutions cannot help with complex company and purchasing structures.

The solution

simple system creates customized procurement solutions through individual customer service and consulting. At KTR Systems, the aim was to mirror ordering processes from simple system to SAP and the linked invoice verification software.

"Thanks to the high level of user-friendliness, the responsible employees in the respective departments can now cover their requirements independently without having to go through lengthy administration and controlling processes."
Chris Trommer Head of Purchasing KTR Systems

"When we were looking for an eProcurement solution, we had an extensive specification sheet with special technical requirements. As an established marketplace, only simple system was able to offer us customized solutions, for example for various account assignments or interfaces to SAP. In addition, the majority of our suppliers were already active on the platform and we were able to continue our business relationships seamlessly. Even suppliers who had not previously sold via simple system quickly became active on the platform thanks to the uncomplicated catalog integration. What particularly impressed us about simple system was

• the personal consultation during and after implementation
• the usability of the web-based platform
• the regulation options via integration into the SAP merchandise management system
• and the rights management for restricting suppliers and product groups of individual users or user groups."

The result

One to two people per department, a total of almost 30 active users at KTR, are currently authorized to cover their needs independently via the platform. Only rights management and monitoring are still handled by the purchasing department. The rest is completely autonomous; every order is automatically created as a copy in the ERP. The ordering process has been streamlined in such a way that the purchasing department saves a lot of time on administrative work. "This freed up resources for important tasks such as investments or supplier selection," says Trommer with satisfaction.
