On the way to ever greater networking, Onventis has agreed a strategic sales partnership with the multi-award-winning procurement consultancy Kloepfel Consulting. The partnership between Kloepfel Consulting and Onventis is intended to promote the penetration of e-procurement solutions in German-speaking SMEs.
The sales partnership includes the development and operation of a procurement platform. Kloepfel Consulting will provide first-level support for customer-based processes, implement the Onventis e-procurement solutions optimised for SMEs and ensure seamless content integration. Founder and Managing Director Marc Kloepfel emphasises: „We are working together on a closer integration of our established solutions for sustainable procurement optimisation with the innovative procurement solutions from Onventis. After all, when it comes to digital transformation, medium-sized procurement is not yet as advanced as one might think. However, the degree of digitalisation today is crucial to whether a company is well positioned tomorrow.“
In addition to supplying platform customers, Kloepfel Consulting will handle all supplier qualifications, tenders and auctions within the purchasing projects via Onventis. The first customers include the Theben AG Group, a specialist and long-established company for timers, lighting and climate control systems in electrical engineering, Mateco, the leading provider of work platform hire, and Luehr Filter, a technology leader in the field of air purification.
Benjamin Fritz, Director Sales & Partner Manager at Onventis, explains the added value for customers: „As part of the new partnership with the German SME consultancy Kloepfel, we enable our customers to access the integrated services of a highly specialised group of companies for cost optimisation in purchasing. The combined model of consulting and project management has been confirmed in our first projects. Together, we are able to maximise the substantial value contribution of digital technologies for procurement and finance organisations.“
The collaboration is simple and transparent for customers: Kloepfel Consulting is the sole contractual partner and the e-procurement specialist Onventis ensures the operation and further development of the procurement platform. „The aim of the partnership is to offer procurement managers a holistic solution package for procurement optimisation via the Onventis Cloud Procurement Network. With us as a strategic partner, the procurement professionals at Kloepfel Consulting are further strengthening their activities in the expansion of platform and implementation services,“ explains Frank Schmidt, Managing Partner of Onventis.
