Transparent process around procurement and usage of technical components helps to reduce working capital and realise cost savings

Today, many industrial companies still buy their technical components from a large variety of suppliers. Purchase orders are mainly paper based, warehouses full of aged stock and users are constantly complaining about limited product availability and limited support by their suppliers. Especially in a period of economic downturn, during which managing working capital efficiently is crucial and cost efficient manufacturing is an absolute necessity to stay competitive.
