Foundry group centralises Malaysian, Spanish and Czech operations

As a multinational entity with operations across five countries on three continents, Schmidt + Clemens encountered significant challenges in managing and synchronising procurement activities. The complexity of overseeing diverse locations and maintaining efficient purchasing processes was proving increasingly difficult. The company needed a solution that would centralise procurement functions while allowing the head office to retain negotiating authority. To address these issues, S+C recognised the necessity of a digital solution to optimise their procurement operations.

Metalshub was implemented to address these challenges through its advanced sourcing and supplier management capabilities. The tool allowed Schmidt + Clemens to identify the most relevant suppliers and effectively manage relationships with them. The software’s analytical features provided crucial visibility into order statuses, deliveries, and payments, which enabled better supply chain management. The integration with S+C’s internal systems streamlined the procurement process, reducing reliance on manual tasks and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

After the implementation of Metalshub, the company centralised its procurement process across their global operations, improved supplier relationships and increased visibility into the order statuses. By reducing manual processes and integrating with existing systems, S+C achieved a more cohesive and efficient procurement workflow.
