Case Study: MANN+HUMMEL achieves streamlined global supplier management with JAGGAER's Supply Base Portal

How MANN+HUMMEL uses supplier strategies globally

Mann+Hummel, a global leader in filtration with a complex, €1.7 billion purchasing portfolio and more than 40 local procurement sites, faced fragmented supplier processes and multiple systems that hindered standardized, strategic sourcing. To create “one portal, one face towards the supplier,” Mann+Hummel selected JAGGAER and its direct Supply Base Portal to centralize supplier registration, approval and commodity management.

JAGGAER implemented a single supply‑base platform that integrates legacy systems, enables supplier self‑registration with commodity‑specific questionnaires, enforces differentiated approval workflows (production vs. non‑production), automates regional classification, and runs eRFQs with standardized quote comparison. The JAGGAER solution delivered continuous supplier registration and onboarding, clearer supplier classification by region and commodity, a focused “Approved Vendor” list for sourcing, and a simplified, more transparent RFQ process—improving process quality, efficiency and control across Mann+Hummel’s global purchasing.
