c parts handling is for many organizations a major headache. The approaches of managing the procurement centrally and the approach of handling it fully decentralized by the employees both and imperfect and deliver certain problems to the organization. The centralized procurement may brings benefits on the procurement side like better pricing, but means a lack of control of fulfillment and distribution side. The decentralized procurement does have these benefits and can be very efficient but has a huge lack of control on the spending side.

As a result most mid size companies take the centralized approach, although knowing of the downsides of this centralistic approach. In these scenarios the procurement is done by using the standard purchasing tools offered by the ERP available in these companies. All decentralized demand is forwarded to the central procurement department causing a lot of overhead work with these c parts. In this situation another way of healing the biggest issues is to attach shops of selected providers to their ERP solution directly, e.g. like punch-out catalogs. This is a concept developed by SAP in the 1980s as Open Catalog Interface in 2003. It works through e-commerce websites operated by of vendors to purchase products. This approach works well for most basic products like office material although it means evens for these product groups dependency risks and costly integration projects for each new supplier.

For certain product groups requiring personal data of the single employee other problems arise, e.g. data privacy and or company policies exist which need to be enforced to reduce spending. Especially in the areas of corporate wear, corporate fashion and personal protective equipment (ppe) data like body measures, health condition and many other very personal information needs to be addressed carefully due to new data privacy awareness. This is where regular shops hosted with suppliers can not support and are not the right solution to go fruther with.

This is where the ZUGSEIL Equipment shop delivers delivers its value. In core it is a shop which is operated by the organization itself and all suppliers can connect and deliver digital catalogs. Based on the products delivered by these digital catalogs the organization can then independently define its own policies like employee budgets, product availability based on positions, legal requirements of equipment and much more. As the ZUGSEIL Equipment shop is based fully on the b-op concept the organization does no longer require costly IT-Interface-projects for supplier onboarding, which is a massive cost saver over other platforms. Dependencies on marketplaces are no longer required. And finally it also handles the data in a way which is fully compliant to all new legislative data privacy requirements like DS-GVO.
