From Suppliers Qualification to Auctions and Tenders, up to Contract Management and Risk Assessment. Vitrociset keeps on with the full digitization of procurement processes
Milan, April 12th 2017.– Vitrociset, one of the biggest Italian companies providing technological products and services for “mission & safe critical” systems, renews its trust into SynerTrade, the European leader in Procurement solutions.
After a year from the beginning of the first project, the company is now proceeding with the choice of new additional Apps of the Accelerate platform, and is communicating the first important savings and benefits reached.
If initially Vitrociset was looking for a tool able to guarantee a structured and trustable qualification process, the choice for SynerTrade was led by the fact that it’s a full coverage solution with a great flexibility, together with low costs of configuration and maintenance, and aims at something even more ambitious: rationalize and simplify the entire procurement process…
SynerTrade, through Accelerate, its cloud-based platform which covers the entire procurement process, has been able to guarantee to Vitrociset a deep knowledge of its suppliers regarding economical/financial aspects, certifications, their distribution on the territory, partnership relations, references, industry and others. The company has also got benefits from the integration with CERVED, therefore the possibility to certify economical/financial data also through an influential external Information Provider registered from CONSOB as Credit Rating Agency. The integration will allow the monitoring of the existing suppliers collecting the eventual problems/crisis.
Adopting an e-Procurement platform meant to Vitrociset reviewing processes and optimizing/standardizing them, in order to be more competitive, to have a better efficiency and to reduce the spend. The entire Supply Chain structure, in this way, has been made more solid and significant benefits have been reached, also from Buyers’ point of view, who can now access the platform and know the global situation on strategic/non strategic suppliers, the compliance with corporate processes and the transparency of activities.
After achieving benefits from this structured, trustable and flexible supplier’s qualification process, Vitrociset chose to keep on with its journey in the digitalization adopting also Auctions and Tenders modules, getting benefits in the evaluation and time reduction for tenders’ analysis.
Vitrociset is also adopting other modules from SynerTrade as the one for Contract Management and the one for electronic catalogues management and Risk Assessment, aiming at implementing real “qualification campaigns”.
