Case Study: Cologne Bonn Airport achieves faster procurement with Mercell

Cologne Bonn Airport cuts procurement lead times by 70% with Mercell

Cologne Bonn Airport, a major logistics hub in Germany handling over 10 million passengers annually, faced significant procurement challenges. Their processes were outdated, paper-heavy, and inefficient due to complex public sector regulations, causing delays and communication barriers. The airport needed a modern solution and turned to Mercell for its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to digitalize and streamline purchasing.

By implementing Mercell's digital procurement platform, the airport achieved a seamless and intuitive workflow. This solution resulted in a 70% reduction in procurement lead times, with award decisions now made in just three weeks instead of over two months. Mercell's system also improved inter-departmental communication, increased bidder satisfaction, and provided greater overall efficiency and transparency.
