customer description
For more than 100 years, Hesse Lignal has been regarded as a specialist in intelligent and sustainable coating solutions for crafts and industry. With local production facilities in Hamm and four other internationally oriented locations, Hesse Lignal develops and produces sustainable paints and stains for innovative indoor surfaces. Prioritizing innovation and sustainability is of particular importance for Hesse in order to position itself optimally and strategically for the future.
Without Tacto
Hesse Lignal aims to position procurement as a strategic driver within the company. However, to effectively manage supplier development, they lacked a unified data foundation. Information about performance, risks, or potential of individual suppliers was only available in decentralized systems – making systematic evaluation and alignment with business objectives nearly impossible.
Instead of strategic management, operational workload dominated. The procurement team was frequently occupied with manually compiling information, rather than making informed decisions about suppliers, product categories, or development initiatives.
With Tacto
With Tacto, Hesse Lignal built a data-driven platform for strategic supplier management. The solution provides transparency into the performance and potential of all suppliers – enabling targeted management aligned with overarching business priorities.

Strategic management of supplier development aligned with sustainability and business objectives.

"With Tacto's support, our procurement team can focus on what really matters strategically—namely: 'How do we manage our product categories and suppliers based on our strategic goals?'"
Tobias Gaub
Head of Procurement, Hesse Lignal
Outlook with Tacto
Hesse Lignal plans to further expand its strategic supplier management and unlock additional cost savings – particularly by leveraging Tacto's Spend Intelligence. This enables Tacto to create the foundation for procurement that measurably contributes to achieving business objectives.
