Here is just a small excerpt from the many positive responses from our valued customers.
"We were able to derive important cost-relevant technical issues for our future product and procurement strategy. Following the implementation of the costdata® software, we now have the opportunity to analyze and simulate changes using cost analysis."
"Right from the start of our collaboration, it became clear to us that your software could be used as a useful building block for the work of a purchaser. The resulting cost transparency forms the basis for the identification of cost drivers and a focused concentration on valuable optimization potential."
"As you already know, the [...] cost analyses carried out on the purchasing side have enabled us to save up to 20% on some products. Due to the excellent performance [...] we look forward to further cooperation between our companies."
"A particularly positive highlight is the information on how staff productivity has changed since the last negotiation. We have often been able to trigger a clear surprise effect at the supplier and counter the arguments about increased material prices"
