Challanges & initial situation
The initial situation at Sportscheck is characterized by highly manual processes in inventory management for packaging.
Manual tenders in purchasing are time-consuming. In addition, packaging purchasing is carried out both by logistics service providers and internally, which leads to many interfaces and thus impairs transparency and increases sources of error. The lack of a benchmark for the market conditions of the individual product types makes optimal cost control and efficiency difficult. Improvements are urgently needed to optimize packaging management and increase efficiency.
Goals of the cooperation
With PAXLY, Sportscheck is aiming to establish efficient packaging management. Digitalization and automation should reduce time and save costs. Access to a wider pool of manufacturers and a strong network enables optimal procurement options.
The platform promotes collaborative working across all interfaces and covers the entire packaging sector.
The focus is not just on corrugated board, but on all types of packaging. Cost transparency is guaranteed in order to improve decision-making and increase efficiency.
THE RESULTS - What did it achieve?
The results to date of the extremely satisfactory cooperation with PAXLY are exactly in line with the objectives set.
The successful implementation, including the professional renegotiations conducted by PAXLY, will further expand the partnership.
The promising future offers great potential for further success and growth.
