The management focuses more and more on strategic procurement. In past years the internal processes were rationalized and all chances for optimization were taken. But now it is the processes that go in line with interfaces to external business partners, which are put to test to see where their potentials are for optimization. Because: in mid-sized businesses the business processes in line with external interfaces are often those processes where optimization does influence the positioning on the market significantly.
The PROMATIS software GmbH in Ettlingen has attended to this specific topic. Based on Oracle E-Business Software PROMATIS developed an optimally coordinated solution component, with which a strategic procurement can be built up fast and without great implementation efforts and also covers the complete ‘Procure to Pay’-process. Routine tasks can be rationalized without media discontinuity and order processes can be handled fast and easily with a workflow-supported automation. Dr. Frank Schoenthaler, PROMATIS CEO and Speaker of the Special Interest Group E-Business Suite of DOAG Deutsche Oracle Anwendergruppe E.V., thinks that a strategic procurement is especially then sensible, when a business uses many external resources. „The optimization of business processes in Purchasing by strategic procurement is especially for the mid-sized sector an important topic“, Schoenthaler said. „Often the competitive advantage, also towards large businesses, is given just then, when in procurement savings can be made by proceeding strategically.” This applies especially for the manufacturing industry, health care, telecommunication, trade and public sector. By binding in employees, suppliers and service providers into the procurement process an optimal result can be achieved and the procurement process is substantially simplified.
