Case Study: SEMIKRON achieves streamlined, audit‑proof supplier document management with JAGGAER's Document Approval Exchange

New Flexibility in Document Management with Suppliers

SEMIKRON, a Nuremberg‑based manufacturer of power modules with more than 2,800 employees and purchases up to €330 million, struggled with slow, manual and opaque document management across some 525 production and 8,400 indirect suppliers. To ensure legally compliant, audit‑proof exchanges of certificates, supplier qualifications and order documentation and to avoid order delays from ad hoc follow‑ups, SEMIKRON turned to JAGGAER’s Document Approval Exchange (DAE).

JAGGAER implemented DAE as a single, central platform so suppliers are notified of required documents, can confirm content before orders, and see instant updates via DAE campaigns. The solution centralized supplier evaluation across ten international locations, eliminated bulky email exchanges, automated reminders for expiring documents, shortened response times and reduced administrative effort—delivering faster coordination, uniform company‑wide documentation standards and audit‑proof processes for SEMIKRON.
