Initial Situation
A mid-sized company with 200 employees processes 300 orders for indirect material monthly. The ordering process is fragmented: demand notification via email, vendor research in various portals, ordering via fax/email, manual follow-up. Average process costs are €85 per order. With 300 orders/month, that's €306,000 in pure process costs per year – more than the material costs of many C-parts.
Your Solution with simple system
- Marketplace: Central search replaces 4-5 separate vendor portals
- Quick Entry: Routine orders in under 1 minute
- Favorite Lists: Standard articles preselected for each area
- Order Overview: Automatic status tracking instead of manual follow-up
- Deliveries & Payments: Digital goods receipt and automatic invoice matching
Result: Process costs drop from €85 to €22 per order. The entire process takes 5-8 minutes instead of 30-45 minutes.
Your Benefit
- Time savings: 25 min. × 300 orders/month = 125 hrs/month = 1,500 hrs/year
- EBIT impact: +€226,800/year (process costs drop from €85 to €22 per order)
