Digital procurement against workforce shortages in purchasing

Traditional procurement processes typically tie up many resources and require specialised personnel. And this is becoming increasingly scarce in many companies. This development makes it essential to design procurement processes to be lean and flexible.

“Digital procurement frees procurement teams

 from time-consuming routine tasks. Procurement is not becoming redundant - it is becoming stronger. Those who reduce operational complexity create space for what will be crucial in the future: foresight, strategy, and innovation capability,” explains Moritz König, CEO at Facturee.

Digital procurement from Facturee also compensates for resource shortages during holiday periods. “If someone in a company is responsible for a specific area and only that person has the necessary insights, they are difficult to replace in their absence. Projects often come to a standstill. Facturee covers exactly these gaps by centrally mapping all processes and directly providing the necessary manufacturing know-how,” says Moritz König.

One interface - access to virtually unlimited capacities and markets

Facturee is a comprehensive partner in the field of industrial procurement. The company brings together over 2,000 qualified manufacturing partners from areas such as CNC machining, sheet metal processing, 3D printing, casting and forging processes, as well as surface technology. Customers thus benefit from a particularly wide range of services - even for complex special applications. The digital procurement specialist takes over the entire procurement process - from the inquiry to supplier search to manufacturing and post-processing. Customers thus have a single, reliable interface that guides them through the entire process.

Facturee's procurement model combines advanced software with a deep understanding of purchasing needs and corresponding advice. All relevant steps are fully digitally mapped and automated. By using artificial intelligence and predictive methods, Facturee not only offers cost advantages but also enables engineers to achieve shorter time-to-markets.

Customers also benefit from the price advantages of international procurement without having to handle it themselves. Facturee has recently obtained AEO certification, which enables simplified customs processes and international trade facilitation. Compliance, data security, and regulatory requirements are always met.

The results for buyers and engineers: noticeable relief, greater flexibility, and more room for strategic tasks such as supplier development or risk management. "We are not aiming to replace procurement - quite the opposite," emphasises Moritz König. "We see our task as relieving procurement departments and giving them more strategic clout. In times of scarce resources, this means supporting the existing specialists as best as possible and giving them more room for manoeuvre."
