"As software providers it’s our job to integrate new technology to create added value for the end users. Digital procurement is the future and will revolutionize purchasing. We invest in technology related to smart procurement and digital intelligence in order to provide our customers with a better user experience and to make procurement processes more efficient,” explains Michael Rösch, COO of POOL4TOOL, the digital procurement strategy for procurement specialists.
Untapped Potential
In the private sphere, it’s hard to imagine life without the comforts afforded by digital technology. Today, six out of ten users operate their smart phones with voice control. Every third household relies on smart home concepts, which offer many new advantages by digitally linking household appliances. Just smart thermostat control can result in savings of 30% on energy costs each year. According to a recent Ipsos poll, the majority of Germans have a positive opinion of digital and smart technology, but there is still a great deal of untapped potential when it comes to the use of these technologies in German industry and business. According to the McKinsey Global Institute, Germany will have thrown away 500 billion euros by 2025 by not using digital technology to its fullest potential.
Advantages of Digital Assistance
Deloitte’s 2017 CPO study shows that the use of digital technology as an optimization tool has finally been established, but implementing these technologies still presents considerable challenges. “When it comes to the use of digital technology in business, there is an ever-growing gap between the forerunners and the stragglers. In Procurement, too, the digital transformation is still in its infancy. As Purchasing responds to the pressure of increasing costs, they have the chance to push the digital movement forward not just in their own department but throughout the entire company,” explains Thomas Dieringer, CEO of POOL4TOOL, as he describes the possible role of Purchasing. There are also many advantages to using digital assistance for everyday tasks at work and in B2B commerce. Various studies show that companies could save on costs and could increase efficiency by 15-40%, depending on opportunities within individual value adding steps.
