Lieken Brot-und Backwaren GmbH: "In the Lieken Group, we introduced an electronic procurement system based on SAP SRM 5.0 and the Heiler components PBC, PSX, and PCM in just a few months. In this project, the main challenges were to achieve a lasting change to conventional working methods and to bundle purchase volumes while at the same time introducing a new system solution. For this purpose, it was necessary to develop an extremely practice-oriented system that quickly convinces users that they can use it to organize their work more easily and quickly in the future. In particular, the excellent expert knowledge, competence, and flexibility of the apsolut team enabled us to successfully achieve our project goal in the shortest possible time", says Margit Pekruhn, Business Development Manager at Lieken Brot-und Backwaren GmbH.

MAGNA STEYR: "Even though the decision to replace our old eProcurement system with SRM 5.0 was made relatively quickly, apsolut was able to fully satisfy all of our requirements and adhere to our very tight schedule. The flexible and competent employees at apsolut made a lasting impression on us at MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik. Implementation of the jointly developed complex concept was very professional and the desired positive effects were achieved during productive operation", says Richard Birnstingl, Supply Chain Management, MAGNA STEYR Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co KG.

Nordzucker: "Successful projects do not depend on the size of the consulting firm, but on the people who oversee the projects. As the project manager responsible for implementing EBP 3.5 with Heiler's PBC, Tim Kollmeier proved to be a competent team player, and was therefore key to successful implementation of the project", says Mr. Jürgen Ehlers, eProcurement Project Manager at Nordzucker AG.

Radeberger Gruppe: "apsolut successfully performed a release upgrade to SRM 5.0, largely unnoticed by our users. Implementation of the SRM-MDM catalog for contract mapping was equally smooth. The subsequent integration of Allgäuer Brauhaus into our IT landscape was challenging in the fact that the now more complex approval processes had to be incorporated into the workflow. We were very impressed by the solution proposed, namely the use of the apsolut BADI workflow template. Furthermore, our maintenance requirements were incorporated into the SRM approval process (PReq upload). As a result of the industry-specific knowledge, competence and flexibility of the apsolut team, it was possible to implement our project goals in the shortest possible time", says Cornelia Grub, IT Project Manager for SRM at Radeberger Gruppe KG.

Schaeffler KG: "Thanks to the committed and flexible support shown by Mr. Herbst for the entire duration of the project, it was possible to realize all of the target implementation objectives.

For the coming months, we have planned functional enhancements, further rollouts, and a release upgrade to the latest version (SRM 5.0)", says Norbert Winkler, Head of eBusiness at Schaeffler KG.

The project manager, Tim Kollmeier, impressed us greatly with his excellent expertise and his goal-oriented approach in all project phases", says Henry Knollmann, Senior Purchasing Manager at Stadtwerke Bielefeld GmbH.
