Case Study: Manz achieves more efficient purchasing and clearer analytics with POOL4TOOL

Manz - Customer Case Study

Manz, a high-tech multinational engineering company, was facing major volatility in its solar business due to market consolidation, subsidy cuts, and sharp price declines, which made forecasting and supplier risk management difficult. The company also struggled with fragmented purchasing data across multiple ERP systems and time-consuming manual processes, and turned to pool4tool for an eSolution and analytics platform to improve visibility and efficiency.

pool4tool implemented POOL4TOOL Analytics and automated purchasing workflows, consolidating key data from purchasing, development, logistics, and quality into a single reporting view. As a result, Manz standardized recurring procurement tasks and planned to handle 50% of orders in Reutlingen through pool4tool by year-end, with a global rollout to follow, while giving buyers clearer, more comprehensive insights for better decisions.
