    09:45 Sustainable procurement at the Austrian Federal Railways based on ecological life cycle assessment

    How can the environmental impacts caused by products and services be integrated into the procurement process? The answer is provided by ÖBB's solution, which enables the calculation of the environmental impacts caused by the production, construction, use phase and recycling/recovery of products and services. These environmental impacts can be monetized and thus integrated into the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), which means that they are directly incorporated into the procurement process.

    11:15 Successful management of transport and logistics costs in a demanding market

    Data about costs and structures are the basis for a permanently successful purchase of transport and logistics services for industrial and trading companies! The rapid changes in available capacities and costs in the transport and logistics sector have various causes, to which it is necessary to react at ever shorter notice. Challenges such as constant increases in transport costs, toll increases, securing of loading space and CO2 reductions have to be met. In this presentation you will learn what successful transportation cost management can look like. E.g. from the preparation of a tender, incl. data generation, to the execution and the follow-up. You will learn which conditions should be met in order to optimize processes and sustainably reduce the cost structure, to obtain meaningful logistics key figures and to interpret them correctly. 1. cost savings and process improvements in logistics 2. implementation of a digital key figure system 3. advantages for strategic purchasing

    From project to product: effective expert networks as drivers of change

    The expert tables enable the procurement organization to create additional value by efficiently bundling the requirements of the procurement organization and by accelerating decision processes as the experts act as empowered representatives of their procurement region/area. Expert tables are led by procurement excellence and are in charge of the development and implementation of a roadmap that covers the end to end process, including prioritization of these developments. The roadmap will include for example the following topics: - Holistic training program - Efficient Q&A management - Communication concept - Quick feedback loops
  3. 14:45
    Panel discussion

    „Sustainability versus Saving“ - how does procurement balance the challenge between sustainability and cost reduction

    The sole focus on quality, service level and cost aspects have long since ceased to be sufficient criteria. Sustainability measures (to reduce CO2 emissions) as a criterion in sourcing decisions or in the selection of suppliers have become intrinsically important, but they pose major challenges for purchasing departments. The necessary tools, skills and data are lacking. At the same time, prices on the procurement markets are exploding. How exactly this difficult task is mastered by CPOs will be discussed in this panel.

    15:00 Efficient Managed Service Providing with Digital Ecosystems: Strategies for avoiding bogus self-employment through efficient use of VMS platforms and relaX.

    Our customers face the challenge of efficiently managing their workforce in the area of external resources. In doing so, they have to take into account contract forms such as employee leasing, interim management, service contracts with freelancers and also the controlling of contracts for work and services (SoW). The question of how this can best be achieved is still open. However, the Big "Elephant in the Room" of the entire industry is the demarcation of freelancers from internal teams. How do they manage to avoid the bogus self-employment risk of solo freelancers in their projects? In our presentation, we will use the example of our customer Heraeus Business Solutions GmbH - a Fortune Global 500 company - to show how the efficient use of VMS platforms and digital ecosystems can help to overcome these challenges.
  4. Presentation

    15:15 LkSG and Decarbonisation in the Supply Chain: The Impact of Procurement

    With increasing legislative and public pressure on companies, ESG compliance and sustainability commitment in the supply chain have become a strategic risk and competitive factor. The role of procurement in this is undisputed, but what do buyers need in practice to be able to meet these requirements in a compliant, efficient and effective manner? How can procurement obtain reliable data to manage abstract and concrete human rights and environmental risks and improve supplier performance in the area of emissions reduction and due diligence? Learn more in this masterclass.

    16:15 Beyond static reporting - dynamic management of product carbon footprints

    - As customers not only become more environmentally aware, but also more knowledgeable, the importance of Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) grows beyond simple reporting - Customers are asking for data, and comparing it to your competitors. Reliable, low PCFs are becoming a competitive advantage across all industries. - Traditional solutions lack scalability, accuracy, trustworthiness, and confidentiality - Dynamic PCFs, based on data collected along the value chain, quantify improvements as they take effect and provide a verifiable basis for efficient decarbonization of products. - Our innovative software-as-a-service offers a scalable approach to managing the carbon footprint of products
  8. Presentation

    16:30 #SocialProcurement boosting the visibility of your procurement department

    We as procurement leaders want to have a say when it comes to the big decisions in the company, but we keep ourselves invisible. This paradox can be eliminated also with the help of social media. And if you can identify new suppliers in the same process, then everyone will be satisfied. But to integrate social media into your digitalisation strategy, you have to know how it works. And that's what Mario Bruggmann shows in this masterclass.
  9. Presentation

    17:00 Transforming Procurement – the key elements to gain the seat at the table

    In Procurement, we can always improve processes, adapt our organizations, digitalize what we are doing, provide insights and market knowledge to the company, and much more. And all of this is good and definitely necessary. But does it place us on the famous seat at the table? The answer is: not fully. We might be given the opportunity to present to the “table”, maybe even to stand at the table. But what it boils down to is: relationship management, mindset and leadership are prerequisites to sit down. You are invited to listen to how we redefined our stakeholder relationship, listened to their needs, relieved their pain points and are now sitting down at the tables from project teams to leadership circles.

    For three years, purchasing was in a state of emergency. With the resulting new challenges, every purchasing manager should ask himself whether he and his team are properly positioned for the future. And can consulting help with this? We at the Procurement Excellence Group (PEG) would like to show you that it can be worthwhile to make targeted use of external support, which assists with pragmatism and experience at eye level. At PEG, we focus on your sustainable purchasing success, true to our motto "Facts instead of slides"!

    Part-time leadership? Yes, it works out! In many companies, leadership roles are still rarely filled by women. One reason for this is often the inability to combine full-time work and family. But does it really have to be like this? In this panel, head of procurements talk about their personal experiences and show that job sharing models can also work wonderfully and what adjustments have to be made to achieve this.

    Around 50,000 European companies are already affected by the various existing legislations and new legislative initiatives are on the way. These legislations will have a significant impact on the management of global supply chains. Of course, this needs to be implemented in line with internal policies and requirements for their suppliers. This masterclass will show you how to combine regulatory requirements with internal performance objectives and using it for your category management.

    11:15 Finding the right suppliers with artificial intelligence

    7Q1 is revolutionizing the future of supplier sourcing and enables customers to quickly expand their supplier portfolio, digitize purchasing and reduce process costs. In this masterclass, you will learn which AI technologies 7Q1 works with and what added value the use of 7Q1 brings. With seven simple questions, 7Q1 elicits the specific requirements of purchasing and, using artificial intelligence, develops a fully automated and language-independent longlist of precisely fitting suppliers. In addition to the advantages of the high quality of the longlist, purchasing also saves an enormous amount of time and resources and can thus concentrate on more value-adding activities.

    10:30 Cleverly automate purchasing processes with B and C suppliers

    Integrating B and C suppliers digitally into their supply chain poses problems for more than a few companies: Because the technical possibilities are lacking, the order volume is too low or classic WebEDI solutions are not accepted. As a result, order confirmations end up in the inbox, if at all, as PDFs or unstructured "We hereby confirm..." emails and have to be processed manually. The manual follow-up of such confirmations costs unnecessary time and, in the end, a lot of money. In our presentation, we will show you how to digitally integrate B and C suppliers into your supply chain without EDI and how to cleverly automate order processes in purchasing. The result: Order confirmations are sent directly to the ERP system without manual steps and can be seamlessly processed there.

    12:00 Digitization can also work in procurement! + in time + in budget + with team spirit +

    From on-premise to the cloud: A smooth SRM replacement with a modern procurement solution is not a matter of course, and getting such a large IT project in purchasing to the finish line "on time" and "in budget" is certainly not. At Vetter Pharma, individual purchasing processes for indirect spend were effectively transformed, and there were success factors that had to be taken into account. Timo Usinger, Vetter Pharma and Andree Siever, Metroplan will guide you through this exciting project and give you an up-to-date insight. You can look forward to a practical lecture with interesting insights.

    How the web and AI are changing the world... and what that means for procurement.

    The story of digitization is one of automation and efficiency radicalism - and the recent boom in AI is actually accelerating this process. Like only the platform revolution before it, AI is about to turn everyday business in procurement upside down, because for the first time in the history of technology, automation is taking place across the board, not just in factories and workshops, but where studied people with ties, collars and suits work. The keynote explores this change and describes and analyzes in an informative and entertaining way why procurement is actually in an excellent starting position - but still has to work extremely hard to aggressively drive digital transformation through networking and artificial intelligence.

CO2 footprint as a procurement criterion - How a chemical industry initiative creates comparability and momentum.

The carbon footprint is becoming a decisive procurement criterion. But how can it be effectively measured and efficiently shared? Companies cannot solve this fundamental challenge alone. What is needed here are pro-industry initiatives that build trust and ensure uniform criteria. So that we as buyers can make the right decisions.

Women in Procurement

Part-time leadership? Yes, it works out! In many companies, leadership roles are still rarely filled by women. One reason for this is often the inability to combine full-time work and family. But does it really have to be like this? In this panel, head of procurements talk about their personal experiences and show that job sharing models can also work wonderfully and what adjustments have to be made to achieve this. And what other reasons are there for a low proportion of women in leadership roles?

Cleverly automate purchasing processes with B and C suppliers

Integrating B and C suppliers digitally into their supply chain poses problems for more than a few companies: Because the technical possibilities are lacking, the order volume is too low or classic WebEDI solutions are not accepted. As a result, order confirmations end up in the inbox, if at all, as PDFs or unstructured "We hereby confirm..." emails and have to be processed manually. The manual follow-up of such confirmations costs unnecessary time and, in the end, a lot of money. In our presentation, we will show you how to digitally integrate B and C suppliers into your supply chain without EDI and how to cleverly automate order processes in purchasing. The result: Order confirmations are sent directly to the ERP system without manual steps and can be seamlessly processed there.

CSRD, CSDD, LkSG are pointless: if the performance of the suppliers is poor

Around 50,000 European companies are already affected by the various existing legislations and new legislative initiatives are on the way. These legislations will have a significant impact on the management of global supply chains. Of course, this needs to be implemented in line with internal policies and requirements for their suppliers. This masterclass will show you how to combine regulatory requirements with internal performance objectives and using it for your category management.

Finding the right suppliers with artificial intelligence

7Q1 is revolutionizing the future of supplier sourcing and enables customers to quickly expand their supplier portfolio, digitize purchasing and reduce process costs. In this masterclass, you will learn which AI technologies 7Q1 works with and what added value the use of 7Q1 brings. With seven simple questions, 7Q1 elicits the specific requirements of purchasing and, using artificial intelligence, develops a fully automated and language-independent longlist of precisely fitting suppliers. In addition to the advantages of the high quality of the longlist, purchasing also saves an enormous amount of time and resources and can thus concentrate on more value-adding activities.
