"apsolut manages to combine technical competence with special process knowledge in purchasing." This statement was made by someone who should know: Christian Fleiner is Global Team Lead Purchasing Applications IT at Continental and has been working with apsolut since 2010 to optimise the procurement organisation at one of the world's largest automotive suppliers (click here for more statements from our image film).
The example of Continental is emblematic of the know-how we have developed over the years to optimise procurement performance in the automotive and discrete manufacturing sectors. The cooperation between apsolut and Continental began with an SAP SRM release. Today, we are talking about SAP Fiori applications, the use of procurement bots and how we are shaping the intelligent purchasing system landscape of the future together.
What is such a long-standing relationship of trust based on? We believe that it is about constantly challenging the status quo and never giving up the search for inefficiencies. This courage and honesty are our promise to our demanding customers!
„apsolut led us in a very cooperative and super-competent manner throughout all phases of the project! Above all, the open collaboration between all project members kept motivation high throughout. The project team gets on very well with each other. We were also impressed by the solution-oriented approach and the ability of the entire project team to make quick decisions!"
- Hubert Buchsteiner, Group Vice President Purchasing, ZKW Group
Booming electromobility and the switch to S/4HANA pose major challenges for SAP-based procurement in the automotive industry. The use of S/4HANA Central Procurement (CP) can help to tackle them.
