Case Study: SONAX achieves 80% time savings in supplier management with tacto

80% time savings in supplier management through digitization

SONAX GmbH, a chemical company focused on automotive care products, faced significant challenges in manually managing its supplier compliance. The process of sending RFx requests and tracking certifications via email and Excel was massively time-consuming, flooded inboxes, and risked data errors. SONAX needed to automate procurement to free up its team for strategic work and required a solution that was lean and required minimal IT involvement. This led them to partner with the vendor tacto.

tacto provided a plug-and-play solution that digitized SONAX's supplier management. The platform automated requests and reminders for supplier certificates, creating full transparency and saving an estimated 80% of the time previously spent on manual tasks. The implementation required only 10 minutes of IT effort and was praised for its high user-friendliness by both SONAX and its suppliers. The significant time savings with tacto have allowed the procurement team to focus on strategic initiatives.
