Transformation in Procurement
Procurement is facing change. In a world characterized by global crises, complex supply chains, and growing pressure to innovate, traditional purchasing processes are no longer sufficient. Procurement is evolving into a strategic risk manager: collecting data, analyzing it, and assessing risks – these are the new priorities.
For the perfect balance between people, processes, and technologies
This requires transparent, flexible, and, above all, resilient supply chains. AI-supported tools identify risks early on and help consolidate complex data from a wide range of sources.
People, processes, technologies, supply chains – only through perfect interaction can procurement remain resilient and efficient.
We show you how this can be achieved: T.CON supports manufacturing companies in getting their procurement fit for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
The four biggest challenges Procurement is facing today
- Transparent processes
Supply chain transparency is essential. Without digital support, batches and materials are difficult to trace. Thanks to seamlessly integrated IT applications, automated processes, and real-time data, the right products from the right suppliers are available at the right time and in the right place.

Strengthen competitiveness
Traditional purchasing processes have had their day. Today, it is the strategic interaction of people, processes, technologies, and supply chains that counts. Those who fail to develop their procurement function into a risk manager will find it difficult to compete in the market.
- Strategic cost management
Inflation, rising energy prices, global uncertainties – companies are under pressure. Orders are falling, growth is stagnating. What is needed now is adapted cost management. We provide the digital tools to anticipate market developments, optimize costs, and remain competitive. - Technological progress
Rapid technological developments require continuous improvements to your own processes. We help you implement forward-looking solutions to implement innovations in a targeted manner and secure your competitive edge.
SUPPLIER EVALUATION
The best foundation for good decisions
Favorable terms are great – but they don't help if your own production comes to a standstill due to late deliveries. The SAP S/4HANA extension SUPPLIER EVALUATION from T.CON ensures an objective and data-based assessment of your suppliers. It integrates seamlessly into the supplier development plan and enables structured, continuous evaluation based on figures and soft facts. This allows you to develop your most important suppliers in a targeted manner, minimize risks, and strengthen supply chains in the long term.

Mastering sustainability
Purchasing makes the difference
Whether it's tenders, lending, or customer requirements, the pressure to make production sustainable and present data transparently is enormous. Companies need to know the carbon footprint of their manufacturing and their products. Purchasing plays a central role in this, as raw materials and suppliers have a significant impact on the carbon footprint.
The challenge? Making all data available along the digital supply chain and integrating it into areas such as costing and production.
Digitalization as a lever for sustainable procurement
What is needed? Integrated IT systems that collect, process, and make this data usable. From purchasing to production, data must flow seamlessly to ensure transparency and control. Companies need solutions that not only collect data points, but also analyze them in real time and make them usable.
