customer description
For 70 years, SONAX has stood for a strong brand in car care and develops and produces almost all of its cleaning and care products itself in Neuburg. SONAX GmbH is part of the Hoffmann group of companies and has a 100% subsidiary: DUROdruck GmbH.
Started as a pioneer in car care, SONAX is now also a premium product manufacturer in the bicycle and caravan industries. The company also opened up other markets — in the agricultural industry, forestry and construction. SONAX is positioned as the German and Austrian market leader in its sector and is constantly working on new solutions, applications and products for its customers.
Without Tacto
As SONAX's supplier network grew and regulatory requirements increased, the effort required to maintain and manage supplier master data rose significantly. Information was scattered across different systems and Excel spreadsheets – requiring extensive coordination and manual maintenance.
The company particularly lacked a centralized solution for managing contact information, classifications, and certificates that could be easily and quickly used by all stakeholders – without complicated system implementations or lengthy onboarding processes.
With Tacto
With Tacto, SONAX established a fully intelligent supplier base – easily, quickly, and without lengthy IT projects. Tacto provides a centralized view of all relevant supplier data, while AI agents automatically handle maintenance and update processes.
Proven Impact
80% time savings in master data management through centralized data capture with Tacto Intelligence.
Unified supplier database for procurement, quality, and other departments.
Quick, intuitive onboarding without extensive training or implementation effort.
"We didn't need a tool that requires 100 hours to set up, we needed 'Plug & Play' – and that's exactly what Tacto delivers."
Dr. Stephanie Burghart
Chief Procurement Officer, SONAX
Outlook with Tacto
SONAX plans to continue leveraging Tacto Intelligence as a key driver for procurement efficiency gains. In particular, automated supplier evaluation and document management powered by AI agents will further strengthen the digital foundation for intelligent and future-ready supplier management.
