Against the backdrop of global value chains and the increasingly complex, nested structures of these value creation networks, procurement is taking on ever greater complexity. Your stakeholders therefore demand comprehensive reporting on your business activities and compliance with standards — covering topics such as quality and the environmental sustainability of your service delivery.
These aspects cannot, however, be managed solely within your own company — they must be aligned across your entire supply chain. As soon as one element of this value chain fails to meet these standards, your service delivery and the perception of your company by stakeholders will be negatively affected.
You should therefore opt for certified suppliers who meet all of your requirements. This enables you to provide credible evidence to your stakeholders that your own service/product quality and associated factors (e.g. environmental and social responsibility) are being maintained.
Electronic management of supply chain management (SCM) is now indispensable. Electronic data processing (EDP) has long become the standard of business communication across virtually every sector and still holds the potential to realise many further optimisations — especially cost optimisation.
Electronic supplier management and communication takes place within the framework of electronic Supplier Relationship Management (eSRM). This management tool, implemented as a software solution, consists in particular of a supplier database plus additional information on framework agreements (contracts) and ordering processes. It also enables communication and the negotiation of framework agreements (contract management) based on the data available through your SRM tool (e.g. contact information, price lists, performance data, supplier certifications).
This tool can also be provided together with an eAuctioning platform if required, enabling efficient negotiations followed by contract conclusion.
