customer description
ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK has been a pioneer in the development and production of electronic steering systems for commercial and special vehicles for over 50 years. As a pioneer of steer-by-wire technology, the family-run company delivers innovative solutions to leading manufacturers of mobile machines and special vehicles worldwide.
Without Tacto
In recent years, ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK's procurement team faced continuous price increases on certain components. These increases were often implemented gradually over extended periods—sometimes without clear, transparent justification.
The procurement team lacked the ability to systematically analyze these price trends over multiple years and objectively challenge them. This made it difficult to present targeted counterarguments in negotiations—especially with long-standing suppliers, where historical comparison data was often scattered or unavailable.
The result: Price increases were often accepted without being able to verify their actual validity or negotiate effectively.
With Tacto
With Tacto, ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK was able to analyze historical price trends at the individual part level, identify significant changes, and strategically renegotiate. The data-driven price modeling served as an objective foundation for supplier negotiations – delivering direct financial results.

"With Tacto, we can successfully renegotiate past price increases that are no longer justified.

We can also validate current price increases, ensuring fair pricing throughout the supply chain."

Outlook with Tacto
ME MOBIL ELEKTRONIK plans to use Tacto across additional product categories in the future – particularly to identify recurring price trends early and proactively respond. The goal is to ensure sustainable and fair pricing throughout the entire supply chain using data-driven insights.
