Achieve transparency, use synergies

Company-wide transparency regarding purchasing activities is an important foundation for successful strategic purchasing at EADS. The Xcitec® software solution consolidates relevant purchasing data from 60 different ERP systems. The frame contracts of all EADS subsidiaries are documented systematically and uniformly so that EADS can take advantage of the best conditions. EADS carries out supplier rating and development to ensure sustainable supplier optimization. Furthermore, an automatic monitoring process provides economic information. This way, potential supplier delivery failure risks can be identified at an early stage.

Branch-specific and technical consulting services, professional project management, trainings and operative business ensure successful implementation. Due to the high level of acceptance among the ca. 2,000 users, the Xcitec® software significantly contributes to strategic purchasing goals, such as early supplier involvement, risk and revenue sharing, continuous performance improvement and joint sourcing.
