Challenges
Tackling procurement challenges in the manufacturing industry
Procurement in manufacturing is complex, with pressure on margins, fragmented data, and hundreds of suppliers. Ignite unifies your procurement data and tools, helping you find opportunities and make data-driven decisions on costs, risks, and more.
Lack of insight at item or product level
Tracking price developments and comparing suppliers is challenging without detailed item or product level data, leading to missed cost-saving opportunities.
High pressure on margins
Low margins and tough supplier negotiations make accurate data and insights essential for finding savings and staying competitive.
Lack of supplier categorization
It's difficult to manage suppliers effectively without clear categorization and a unified view. Tracking approved suppliers and assessing risks becomes harder, making it challenging to ensure compliance and identify the best suppliers.
Scattered emissions data
Data scattered across various systems makes it harder to calculate and report emissions. This creates complexity in reducing emissions and complying with legislation.
