Efficient procurement in a volatile world

Mercateo was represented at eWorld Procurement & Supply in London with a booth for the fourth time. The trade fair is one of the most important events in Europe for the companies and decision makers in procurement. Topics this year included managing business risks in a volatile world, collaborative networks for the procurement and optimisation of processes.

Mercateo was involved at eWorld this year with a guest lecture and as a sponsor. Mercateo Senior Key Account Manager Roland Svennberg spoke about “Tail Spend Management: Creditor Reduction vs. Supplier Increase” in a guest lecture and presented options with which the procurement of periphery requirement articles can be organised more transparently, efficiently and using less resources. Roughly 30 participants attended the lecture and then found out about the solutions that Europe’s largest procurement platform offers on the Mercateo booth afterwards. A review has been published as a video on the organiser’s website.

The trade fair itself is also an important opportunity for Mercateo itself to meet customers and hold initial consultations. Managers responsible for procurement from UPS, University of Bristol, Telegraph, CooperVision Manufacturing and Ledvance, a spin-off of German Osram Licht AG, visited the booth. Mercateo is also cooperating with Ledvance in other European countries, which showed eWorld trade fair visitors that Mercateo is successfully offering its customers solutions for the whole of Europe.
