Case Study: SED Flow Control achieves greater procurement efficiency and cost savings with tacto

Direct increase in efficiency in terms of time and costs through data and spend transparency

SED Flow Control GmbH, a manufacturer of diaphragm valve technologies and subsidiary of SAMSON AG, faced a significant lack of data transparency in its procurement department. Without a supplier information tool, retrieving and preparing data for supplier meetings was a time-consuming, manual process that required external assistance, hindering their ability to track sales and price trends effectively.

The company implemented the procurement software from tacto to create holistic supplier data transparency. With tacto, SED Flow Control can instantly view sales and price developments, saving 20% of the time previously spent preparing for supplier meetings and 50% of the time in internal discussions. The solution also enabled direct cost savings by identifying price potentials, with the company anticipating future savings in the six-figure range.
