The whole wide world of purchasing – IBX at the e_procure & supply 2007
A guideline for an entire purchasing strategy – IBX is the only provider of integrated services and solutions for efficient purchasing. Large and medium sized companies can take a closer look at the e_procure & supply in Nuremberg from 25th to 27th of April 2007. In hall 12.0, stand 404, IBX presents its portfolio which customers like IKEA, Deutsche Post, Lufthansa, Deutsche Telekom, Siemens, Ericsson, Volvo, Skanska or Novo Nordisk successfully implemented in order to optimise their purchasing processes and reduce costs for procurement. The wide spectrum of solutions ranges from e-Procurement and e-Solutions to e-Payment and e-Invoicing.
The e_procure & supply, the leading trade fair and congress for procurement and supplier management, is the first common appearance of IBX with Portum that was acquired in October 2006. Due to this acquisition of the leading German provider of web-based sourcing solutions, IBX has significantly expanded its business in Germany. “As a result of the integration of Portum we succeeded in extending our portfolio and our sourcing know-how decisively and are now able to offer our customers even better products and services”, says Thomas Neubauer, Managing Director IBX Germany.
IBX delivers a complete set of services and solutions, providing support for the entire source-to-pay process. The services and solutions couples the power, speed and agility of an online purchasing solution with expert strategic knowledge, operational excellence and technical assistance. The on-Demand solutions and services are uniquely tailored solutions according to the different needs of the customer without extra costs. Many companies have achieved a fast and full return on investment.
To capture spend beyond classical catalogue buying, IBX offer with IBX Request a new integrated solution for service procurement. This tool helps the customer to make queries and allows to compare and rate the incoming supplier quotes. IBX Request secures low process costs and competitive prices for non standard products and services.
Growing demand for on-Demand solutions
A survey by IBX has shown that on-Demand solutions are high on the market. Topics like Procure-to-Pay, e-Sourcing and Capture Spend are still very popular: Which Procure-to-Pay solutions are successful? When does the processing integration of e-sourcing profitable? How do customers make sure that framework agreements are kept? These and other questions will be discussed at the e_procure & supply.
IBX invites all customers to the e_procure & supply 2007.
