SoftconCIS to exhibit at the 10th BME Forum on Controlling and Reporting in Purchasing on July 21–22 in Frankfurt am Main
Munich, June 22, 2015 — SoftconCIS, a specialist in purchasing controlling, will be showcasing the flexible customization options of its purchasing controlling system and the variety of dashboards at the 10th BME Forum on Controlling and Reporting in Purchasing on July 21-22 in Frankfurt. Even the standard version of WebCIS includes numerous dashboards, such as the popular product group, key figure, supplier evaluation, and purchasing manager dashboards. These enable clear, well-founded decisions to be made. In addition, dashboards illustrate relevant facts individually and in a target group-oriented manner at the touch of a button. And if necessary, purchasers can view documents right down to the document level.
The trend is toward further customization
Because every company has its own unique challenges, the existing SoftconCIS dashboards can be easily adapted to specific needs using drag and drop. Graphics, axis labels, and legends can be flexibly designed, values can be defined in diagrams, and the aspect ratio can be set for optimal printing on paper. Those who want to tailor their analyses even more specifically to their own requirements and KPIs can easily create a new dashboard and add various graphical elements, such as a traffic light – which automatically displays the corresponding color or warning level for defined values – or a speedometer that visualizes whether everything is in the “green zone.” For particularly complex requirements, the experts at SoftconCIS are available to create the desired dashboard. The company also offers workshops and training courses in which participants learn how to design dashboards according to their own ideas.
Presentation “Planning, measuring, and communicating purchasing results”
Michael Asenkerschbaumer, Regional Director Strategy/Projects/Controlling, and Kai-Uwe Michel, Specialist Procurement & Controlling Systems, from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies GmbH & Co. KG will explain how purchasing results can be optimally planned, measured, and communicated at the 10th BME Forum in their presentation on July 21 at 11:45 a.m. The two purchasing professionals will show what rigorous planning of operational purchasing performance looks like and how it sets the course for success, how to achieve measurable purchasing results in the change process, what obstacles there are, and how they can be overcome. “We look forward to presenting the many possibilities of our dashboards to purchasing experts at the BME Forum and demonstrating their flexible design options. Dashboards are the tool of the future for every strategic purchasing department. We understand that companies have a wide variety of requirements, which is why we offer fully customizable analyses and dashboards – and provide all the options for individual purchasing control,” explains Werner Güntner, Managing Director of SoftconCIS.
