Webinar Recording: The Supplier Cockpit of the Future - Automated Onboarding Processes & Centralized Control at MEILLER Elevator Doors

Many companies face the challenge of optimizing their procurement structures across different locations and subsidiaries. Decentralized structures, varying processes, and a fragmented supplier base often hinder strategic procurement development. However, centralization and strategic realignment can unlock untapped potential and establish the procurement organization as a key value driver for the company.

Procurement centralization is a transformational initiative that enables mid-market companies to break silos, standardize processes, and unlock significant cost savings. At MEILLER Elevator Doors, a manufacturer of high-quality elevator door systems, decentralized procurement across multiple production facilities was creating inefficiencies, duplicate supplier relationships, and fragmented data.

The Centralization Journey

Working with B.I.G. consulting and Tacto, MEILLER implemented a centralized supplier management platform that brought together all procurement activities under one unified system. Automated supplier onboarding processes eliminated manual data entry, standardized questionnaires ensured consistent evaluation criteria, and a central supplier cockpit provided real-time visibility into supplier performance, compliance status, and contract terms across all locations.

The results: 35% reduction in procurement cycle time, 20% improvement in supplier compliance rates, and the ability to leverage volume across locations for better pricing negotiations. The supplier cockpit became the single source of truth for all procurement decisions, enabling strategic sourcing and improved vendor management.
