In order to cover all that happened during 2019, we’ve brought in our Head Procurement & Invoice Automation, Dirk Fischbach. Dirk has been both an architect of the solution and has played a key role in virtually ALL of the largest and most complex customer cases, globally.
In this webinar, Dirk will share his own personal highlights on the following topics:
E-procurement in the Nordics vs DACH regions
Source-to-Pay and evolving customer requirements for key challenge areas - like services procurement
MRO modernization within Procurement
The impact of PEPPOL
The role content strategies in e-procurement play in supporting accounts payable automation
We hope to have an interactive conversation so bring your questions and comments and we can work them into the dialogue.

CONFIRMATION
ORDER
The technician uses
service configurator to
easily create a
requisition for the
specific parts - onsite.
With confirmation that
the supplier can deliver,
the order can be placed
immediately.
A requisition for a
non-standard
part requires
confirmation from
the supplier.
This large Germany company manufactures, installs
and services elevators around the world. The servicing
is done on-site, and parts are sourced as close to the
site as possible. There are many non-standard parts in
any elevator and suppliers are often asked to
customize a given order.
