Case Study: Oventrop achieves 4x more offers and 100% transparency with Mercanis

More Time for Strategy and 4x More Offers

Oventrop, a leading manufacturer of fittings and building technology, was struggling with inefficient, manual purchasing processes that consumed significant resources and lacked market price transparency. Their decentralized data and lack of supplier network overview made strategic planning difficult, and they also needed to fulfill new LkSG regulatory requirements without a major increase in overhead. To overcome these challenges, they turned to the vendor Mercanis for a solution.

Meranis implemented its sourcing, supplier relationship management (SRM), and LkSG & risk management suite for Oventrop. The solution was deployed in just four weeks without needing Oventrop's own IT resources. The results were substantial, including time savings in key processes, 100% data transparency, and the ability to generate four times more offers per sourcing event. This provided better market overview and allowed Oventrop to fully meet its LkSG compliance obligations efficiently.
