UNITEC proposes a solution that enables the optimization of care and achieves a corresponding cost reduction through the use of an integrated process
Companies are increasingly having the problem of optimizing procurement times and procedures, with a corresponding advantage in terms of costs. UNITEC, knowing these issues thoroughly, in collaboration with UNITEC Services & Web, has decided to adopt new means that take advantage of modern technology to offer a service that meets the needs expressed by companies. Therefore, it has developed a series of solutions for industrial procurement via the Internet.
The applications developed concern procurement, supply, warehousing, marketing and reporting.
The aim of UNITEC is to adapt costs to needs so that the relationship between costs and efficiency of structures is direct and measurable. This is possible by converting the less profitable but proportionately more expensive part of internal procurement procedures into services that can be purchased on the market. In this way, the immediate conversion of fixed costs into variable costs is achieved, which follow the cyclical development of the business. An example: It is possible to combine hundreds of incoming invoices into a single one from the supplier. The bundling extends to all documents and procedures that precede accounting.
The introduction of integrated procurement also reduces costs through price optimization. This effect is the consequence of the economic efficiency induced by the procurement volume, which is concentrated in the category-specific and technological areas shared by several customers of the service.
There are then advantages from a logistical perspective as the system enables improvements to the logistics flow. Deliveries can be coordinated so that goods can be picked up in a concentrated manner and no longer in fragments. Finally, shipping costs will be reduced since it will be possible to always transport large quantities of goods, with corresponding economies of scale. All this is possible when virtual warehouses are shared with other customers of this service.
UNITEC also makes it possible to control all tracking of ongoing activitiesvia the Internet.
