Case Study: Hesse Lignal achieves strategic purchasing efficiency with Tacto

Evaluate suppliers, develop them strategically and manage them in line with corporate goals

Hesse Lignal GmbH, a chemical company specializing in sustainable coating solutions, faced challenges in transforming its purchasing department into a strategic value driver. With inefficient, manual processes for supplier management and a lack of data transparency, the company struggled to meet increasing regulatory demands and strategically manage its 150+ suppliers. Partnering with tacto, Hesse Lignal sought to implement professional product group management and free up capacity for strategic initiatives.

tacto provided a solution through its Spend Analytics module and supplier management tools, which automated previously manual tasks. This allowed Hesse Lignal to digitally manage all supplier queries and evaluations, achieving 80% time savings in query management and 60% time savings in the supplier evaluation process. The massive efficiency gains enabled by tacto allowed the company's purchasing team to focus on strategic development and align supplier relationships with corporate goals for sustainability and innovation.
