• ZUGSEIL PATTY - Advanced procurement automation tool enabling governance of multi-vendor strategies an complex supply chain scenarios, e.g. regional.

• ZUGSEIL CATIE - for collaboration based category management and purchasing of non-listed products (purchase requisitions)
• ZUGSEIL CONFIDA - for procuring configurable products

It is the base product for customers which want to digitalize their procurement organization and processes. It enables these competitive advantages:

• Advanced guided buying - the internal shop simplifies product selection to your users massively. They see only products which are cleared for them by your centrally managed procurement governance taking into account the staff member data
• Procurement automation - a centrally managed procurement governance framework defines where goods are procured, also enabling multi-vendor strategies
• Category specific shopping assistants- specific categories require tailored workflows
• Personal equipment management - when ordering equipment, the human aspect needs special features: body data management, size recognition & keeping, made-2-measure products, ... all this is well integrated into the standard shop
• Increasing team productivity - Product selection process can facilitate information from within the organization, without sharing it with a 3rd party. This enables levels of guided buying, which are unreachable by external procurement platforms.
• Reducing maverick buying - through the procurement governance framework, which takes information from procurement and operations, we are able to remove (!) maverick buying
• Enabling procurement automation - once staff member has delivered its requirements through the Shop UI, we have a procurement automation engine through with procurement can setup automatic procurement paths, which again take into account organizational information where to order.
• Integrating circular economy principles - helps reduce costs, minimize waste, and build more resilient, sustainable supply chains.
