Overview

Marchesini Group has been designing and building custom machines and lines for the packaging of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products for 50 years.

Over time, the company has expanded through acquisitions and partnerships with complementary companies, becoming a leading multinational in the Packaging Valley.

In 2015 a need for a user-friendly tool emerged; one that could automate tasks which were previously performed manually and that could activate a collaborative process with suppliers in order to optimize supply operations in terms of quality, costs and delivery.

Challenge

  • Integrating suppliers into a single tool, with minimal intrusion
  • Reducing low value-added tasks in the purchasing department
  • Tracing exchanges with suppliers
  • Having constantly updated information, shared both internally and externally
  • Keeping the consolidated business model unchanged, especially regarding mechanical processing service providers

Solution

IUNGO Procurement, of which activated modules:

  • Purchasing Orders with approval workflow
  • Reminders and delivery plans

Results

  • 500 suppliers integrated with IUNGO
  • Nearly 300,000 order lines managed with IUNGO in a year (95% of turnover directed towards production)
  • Approximately 200 performance reports sent to suppliers in the last trimester
  • Reduced low value-added activities such as order confirmation management or document exchange
