Challanges & initial situation
We, as Burda Procurement GmbH, have no expert knowledge in the packaging material product group. In recent years, we have carried out regular tenders, but these were not standardized and without a complete overview of the supplier market.Project information
- Customer Burda Procurement GmbH
- Date Q1/2023
- Address Arabellastraße 23 -81925 Munich
Aim of the collaboration
By working with PAXLY, we hoped to significantly reduce our own costs, standardize our purchasing contracts and optimize our purchasing conditions.THE RESULTS - What did it achieve?
We were able to achieve our goals. A real "aha" moment for us: despite regular tenders, we were able to reduce prices by 20-30% together with PAXLY. This would only have been possible, if at all, with a considerable investment in supplier market research and optimized requirement specifications. However, due to our spend in this product group, this would not have been worthwhile.A real "aha" moment for us
"With the help of PAXLY, we were able to significantly reduce our own expenditure and achieve better results at the same time! This is reflected both in the quality of the products purchased and in the purchase prices and conditions."
