apsolut to attend trade fair in Nuremberg again this year

Procurement, supplier management, and logistics will be the key topics at this year's e_procure & supply (Wed. 25 - Thurs. 26 April, 2011), a specialist trade fair focusing on the needs of buyers and their colleagues in IT and logistics. This year, a new partner, BVL (the German Logistics Association), will host the accompanying specialist conferences with Wegweiser GmbH Berlin. Approximately 3,000 industry professionals, including congress attendees predominantly from German-speaking countries, will attend this annual trade fair and congress, where apsolut and other well-known companies will showcase their software and services for use in procurement process optimization. From 2011, the trade fair will welcome not only its new technical partner, BVL, but also providers of procurement-oriented logistics solutions. apsolut will exhibit its consulting services at this trade fair for the seventh year in a row.

This year, apsolut will give a live demonstration of the entire SAP SRM Suite. In addition to the well-established process of catalog buying, apsolut's stand will focus on RFxs/reverse auctions, the procurement of services and supplier collaboration, and supplier management.

Background to Strategic Supplier Management (SSM): Today, highly-qualified, innovative suppliers hold the key to a company's success. Thanks to limited vertical integration, the supply chain represents a growing portion of the value chain. In addition, numerous examples of successful companies are testament to the fact that, in the long run, efficient supplier management is the only key to success. Depending on your needs, your company will utilize one or more of the modules within apsolut's Strategic Supplier Management (SSM) tool – the first professional SAP SRM-based supplier management tool available on the market. Now more than ever before, it is important to deploy strategies and skills when managing highly-qualified, innovative suppliers and, depending on their classification, to integrate them into a company's daily business so that it can generate the best possible value contribution from the overall supply chain view. Comprehensive, fully integrated strategic supplier management is the only way to be more competitive and to achieve lasting cost savings. Professional supplier management will enable a purchasing department to efficiently realize its potential new role as a value driver within a company. It will also empower the purchasing department to make a lasting, easily measurable value contribution to its company's success.
