Digital transformation in procurement: strategic partnership between Wucato and Synertrade

Wucato and Synertrade driving digital transformation in procurement

Digitalization in procurement offers companies a whole host of advantages, especially when it covers the entire procurement process. This is why Wucato and Synertrade are collaborating with immediate effect.

Wucato and Synertrade are now working together to drive digital transformation in procurement: in the future, Synertrade's customers will have direct access to the more than 16 million C parts and operating materials that Wucato offers on the digital procurement platform. Wucato customers benefit from the ability to expand procurement via the digital platform to feature Synertrade's fully integrated eProcurement suite. The aim of the strategic partnership is to simplify the procurement of necessary operating materials and C parts, cut costs and, in doing so, enable procurement to focus on strategic considerations.

 

All in one: solution for integrated digitalization in procurement

In order to achieve this, Wucato is integrated directly into Synertrade's software so that customers have direct access to the digital procurement platform without having to change system. The connection gives them central access to the products of 80 suppliers in 19 categories. They benefit from consolidated and cross-supplier invoices, but can also integrate existing framework agreements with specific suppliers – ensuring efficient digital procurement and payment processes. Wucato also shines with its user-friendly interface, intuitive operation and various customization options.

Synertrade is an expert in eProcurement and a leading global provider of SaaS products for digitalizing eSourcing, eProcurement and supplier relationship management processes. The Accelerate platform, to which Wucato will be connected, covers the entire supply chain with flexible, scalable and user-friendly applications. Wucato is the ideal addition to this range of functions, expanding procurement process digitalization to feature the option of also covering in-house requirements digitally and efficiently.

Digitalization in the SME sector: making use of subsidy opportunities

Procurement departments in Germany, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, are still very reluctant to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization. This is something we experience time and again in discussions with customers. But digital processes are advantageous to companies of all sizes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can invest in their future by turning to subsidy programs such as “Digital Jetzt!” (Digital Now!) from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) or a loan from the German state-owned development bank KfW.

Prevent free text orders and optimize purchasing processes

When a department needs a number of products as soon as possible, it often ends up placing free text orders. Although they seem to make sense at first glance, they often end up causing more coordination effort in retrospect and also drive the product costs up.
