Simmeth System provides a series of best practices and success stories that show how companies from a wide range of industries have successfully introduced and used SC-Manager. <\/p><p class=\"has-nv-site-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-028d6512a761279fbcb7349a63e6dfe6\">Find out, for example, how Verkehrsbetriebe Z\u00fcrich (VBZ) optimized its supply chain management with SC-Manager, how EKK Plus (purchasing association of municipal clinics) implemented an innovative supplier management and information system or how Regionetz successfully expanded its purchasing management system. The introduction of the SCM portal at \u00d6BB Technische Services also offers an exciting insight into the digitalization of complex supplier processes. Another example is the storage size management system at MAN Energy Solutions, which shows how specific production processes can be designed efficiently and transparently.

This specification is based on templates that have been tried and tested over many years and are continuously developed further, so that it serves as the basis for the configuration of the software &#8211; including the workflows, data structures and user interfaces &#8211; and can be implemented precisely in line with the previously defined processes and requirements.<\/p><p>Parallel project planning has proved particularly successful: the defined processes are already mapped in the test environment during the concept phase and can be tested and verified while the specifications are being drawn up. This not only saves considerable time in project planning, but also ensures that the design is practice-oriented and realistic. <\/p><p>Intensive training and change management is carried out in parallel to the technical implementation, with key users being involved at an early stage through simultaneous project planning and trained during test operation to ensure a smooth transition. In addition, accompanying learning materials support the transfer of knowledge so that other user groups can also be effectively trained as part of the rollout. <\/p><p>A decisive success factor is the early definition of relevant KPIs, which are mapped in the system via scorecards and dashboards, so that targeted performance measurement is possible. Here too, our customers can draw on a best-practice selection based on our decades of experience, which enables transparent performance measurement and continuous optimization of processes. Thanks to the flexible architecture and methodical approach, a customized solution is created &#8211; without individual programming, but with maximum accuracy of fit. The result: lean projects, low costs and a high level of user acceptance.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c65053c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c65053c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa0231a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"aa0231a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c0aa92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c0aa92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">SELECTION CRITERIA FOR A SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT TOOL<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2da4672 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2da4672\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-569e3ed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"569e3ed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0981a5c elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0981a5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"has-nv-site-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5e2961568c9c40ff1598e04fb118c0d8\">The <strong>SC-Manager from Simmeth System<\/strong> is clearly positioned as the central information, communication and procurement platform for your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simmeth.net\/en\/blog\/supply-chain-management\">supply chain management<\/a><\/span> with a particular focus on purchasing, supplier management across the entire supplier lifecycle, risk &amp; compliance and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simmeth.net\/en\/solutions\/key-figures-and-reporting-new\">Key figures &amp; reporting<\/a><\/span>.<\/p><p class=\"has-nv-site-bg-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1cf1a297e0d30c5fb39a0b9a94e17440\">Its tried-and-tested structure, high level of customizability and comprehensive process support in particular clearly set it apart from many of its competitors &#8211; ideal for companies that want to combine supply chain excellence with supplier relationship management, maximum transparency and control.<\/p><p>Compare our SC-Manager with solutions from our competitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0f4ad0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c0f4ad0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd5c468 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-n-accordion\" data-id=\"bd5c468\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;default_state&quot;:&quot;all_collapsed&quot;,&quot;max_items_expended&quot;:&quot;one&quot;,&quot;n_accordion_animation_duration&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;ms&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:400,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"nested-accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-n-accordion\" aria-label=\"Accordion.
