Wolff & Müller

With TradeCore Cloud Procurement to the leading purchasing service provider in the construction industry

WOLFF & MÜLLER EINKAUFSPARTNER GmbH uses the BME-certified “TradeCore” cloud procurement software from the Stuttgart IT solution provider Onventis for the procurement of indirect goods and services. The purchasing service provider, which specializes in process optimization and cost savings, will in future be offering standardized purchasing processes from the cloud with central access to all framework agreements offered under the “SYNOSA” brand.

The purchasing specialists at WOLFF & MÜLLER EINKAUFSPARTNER GmbH act as independent procurement service providers and consultants in the area of purchasing optimization. They bundle and negotiate the needs of indirect goods and services and use the bundled volume to conclude framework agreements that they make available to their customers and partners. By bundling a purchasing volume of currently more than 80 million euros in the area of indirect goods and services, the procurement costs of over 500 customers are sustainably reduced.

In a first step, the TradeCore-based e-procurement system was implemented in the WOLFF & MÜLLER group of companies. Under the motto “Build with enthusiasm”, WOLFF & MÜLLER has stood for high-quality construction work for over 80 years with its more than 2,000 employees. In the future, TradeCore will ensure at WOLFF & MÜLLER that the procurement processes are sustainably optimized. In a record time of only 4 months, the operational purchasing of all indirect goods and services of the entire group of companies was converted to the new cloud-based procurement system. In the future, all organizational units of the group will cover their C-parts and service requirements via the new e-procurement system from WOLFF & MÜLLER PURCHASING PARTNERS.

From March 2017, all customers and partners of WOLFF & MÜLLER EINKAUFSPARTNER GmbH will be able to optimize their procurement processes via SYNOSA in compliance with their respective purchasing guidelines and approval processes and reduce their purchasing costs through central access to all framework agreements.

With TradeCore, WOLFF & MÜLLER EINKAUFSPARTNER GmbH is pursuing the goal of further expanding its market position as a strategic purchasing service provider for indirect goods and services and, in addition to excellent purchasing conditions, offering its customers considerable added value through process optimization in purchasing.

“The decisive factor in our decision to cooperate with Onventis was, in addition to the complete mapping of the end-to-end processes of indirect procurement from our parent company, the possibility of offering our purchasing partners and customers an innovative and future-oriented cloud platform. The combination of purchasing and trading platform makes TradeCore unique, ”says Ignazio Gentile, Managing Director of WOLFF & MÜLLER PURCHASING PARTNER.
