"How should you have an overview when the ordering process is already chaos?"

The electronic connection of Tool24 replaces manual validation processes. More speed, more safety, more ecology.

"I used to type orders twice - today I click once and that's it."

The OCI interface to the eshop eliminates the need for double entry - your system orders directly. This leaves more time for what really matters.

"Each supplier had its own system - you had to constantly rethink that."

A system, a process - no matter which supplier. Thanks to unified eProcurement, the order always runs the same. This saves time and reduces sources of error.
