Initial Situation

A trading company with 250 employees orders 800 line items monthly. Spot checks reveal: 15% of ordered articles are 20-50% above available market price. Employees don't actively compare, order from habit with the same vendor or choose the first search result. Estimated annual excess cost from overpriced individual orders: €95,000.

Your Solution with simple system

  1. Unit Price Limits: Maximum article prices set per category
  2. Orders above threshold automatically blocked with reference to cheaper alternatives
  3. Marketplace Search: Automatic price comparison shows cheapest provider
  4. Approval Process: Price overage requires justification and approval

Result: Overpriced orders drop from 15% to under 2%. Average price improvement of 8% on affected items.

Your Benefit

  • Time savings: Automatic price rules eliminate manual review
  • EBIT impact: +€150,000/year (13% reduction × 800 items × avg. €120)

Now it is your time to shop efficiently.

More control, less effort. For everyone who doesn't just want to manage processes, but truly improve them.
