Overview

Until 2013, ABS Acciai had a totally paper-based supply chain management, despite the substantial numbers: 1200 suppliers, 21,000 order lines produced.

Printed e-mails, creation of Excel files for requests for offers, printing of orders and offers for comparisons: a working methodology that implied an average time of processing of the order request (from the request of the department to the issue of the order) of about 15 days.
