Often accounting for between 50 and 60 percent of a company's total costs, strategic procurement decisions are extremely important. Indeed, the role played by the procurement process is key to the success of any company.
From past experience, we know that the conventional procurement process has its weaknesses: long procurement periods, high process costs, little need-orientation, little transparency and a high number of non-value-added activities, to name but a few.
While the ERP systems (SAP, Axapta etc.) introduced into the procurement procedure deliver a large volume of mainly operational data, they are unable to offer much support in making things more transparent because of their orientation.
What is needed to make this possible is a user-friendly tool that can analyse the operational procurement structure in an extremely flexible manner and make available the performance measures that are needed for achieving efficient procurement management.
MIK has developed a standard solution that addresses issues such as material group management, supplier development, company-wide coordination of procurement activities and many other tasks. It can also be deployed to make process flow more transparent and to tap into saving potentials.
