These costs arise due to...

  • Poor cost prices as a result of fragmented and thus lower purchasing volume per supplier
    Lack of order processing and delivery routines
  • Frequent creation of new suppliers in the ERP system in the area of procurement and accounting.
  • Lengthy approval processes with multiple approval levels
  • Acquisition and maintenance of master data
  • Various supplier qualifications
  • Involvement of Supplier Quality Department
  • New or even unknown contacts at the supplier
  • High communication and logistics effort
  • Different delivery and payment conditions
  • Unknown form formats and transmission paths
  • Low-value single and free text orders
  • Surcharges for small quantities
  • Elaborate delivery date tracking
  • Different marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, ...)
  • Different payment methods (credit card, PayPal, Alipay, ...)
  • Payments in foreign currencies
