Masterful sourcing, efficient procurement!
More tenders + lower costs = maximum efficiency
Automated tenders with the DIG sourcing tool are the ideal complement to the eProcurement solution or procurement software. Read here how you can expand your supplier base at the touch of a button, build up supplier relationships, issue better entry prices and use sourcing for your supplier development.
The basis for successful purchasing: Sourcing
The strategic management of the supplier base is one of the most important core competencies of purchasing. With sourcing automation and the largely automated execution of tenders, Purchasing realizes not only price advantages but also valuable volume, experience and network effects! And that with up to 80% time and process cost savings.
More intensive sourcing without burdening scarce purchasing resources: this is the effect achieved by eSourcing from DIG. With this feature, tenders are set up at the touch of a button and processed via automated workflows, including reminders to suppliers to submit tenders or special documents. In this way, drawing-based parts can also be requested from different suppliers in a particularly time-efficient manner - the corresponding design drawings are simply attached automatically or made available via a download link.
Transparent tenders relieve the burden on purchasing
Structured information and better controlling options for sourcing measures and tenders support Purchasing in its work. Although the tenders in the workflow are always started by the requester, the purchasing department retains sovereignty and decides on the further course. Only after the tender has been approved do all invited suppliers receive an e-mail with an invitation to participate!
Ordering system at the touch of a button
Once the winner of a tender has been determined, DIG's sourcing tool enables the automatic generation of a shopping basket with the requested items. This is forwarded to the designated approval process and the order is then created in the ERP system. And the best thing is: To benefit from DIG Sourcing, just like our users from companies such as Styria Media Group, Neuman Aluminum or 3Con Technologies, you don't necessarily need an eProcurement solution from DIG! The sourcing tool can also be operated stand-alone, i.e. independently of the other IT environment.
