Are you aware of these challenges?
Many purchasing managers in mechanical engineering struggle with the same problems
Data chaos
Finance owns the ERP, IT controls the architecture, and you “beg for Excel exports” for your analyses.
Manual LkSG compliance
Risk analyses are created manually in Excel. Each report costs days. Fines of up to 2% turnover can be imposed.
Lack of transparency
Supplier risks are recognized too late. No real-time overview of performance, quality and ESG scores.
Fragmented systems
Supplier data distributed across ERP, QM system, Excel lists. No single source of truth.
Reporting fatigue
You have dashboards, but no decisions. Spend Visibility without action is just reporting.
Lack of governance
Different departments use different tools. Systems do not speak the same language.
Inefficient supplier communication
Email ping-pong for document requests.
No structured onboarding. Collect ESG data manually via Excel.
No supplier development
Suppliers are only evaluated, not developed. No structured development plans or performance tracking.
