Transparent process around procurement and usage of technical components helps to reduce working capital and realise cost savings


Today, many industrial companies still buy their technical components from a large variety of suppliers. Purchase orders are mainly paper based, warehouses full of aged stock and users are constantly complaining about limited product availability and limited support by their suppliers. Especially in a period of economic downturn, during which managing working capital efficiently is crucial and cost efficient manufacturing is an absolute necessity to stay competitive.

ERIKS challenges you to forge a breakthrough and is happy to show you how you can organize your total procurement process for technical components more efficiently.

The technical and logistics solutions of ERIKS offer the opportunity to minimize the total cost of ownership for the procurement and usage of technical components, both in an OEM and MRO environments. Whether ERIKS is your supplier for a very specialized product or supplies you a wide variety of products, we are always able to offer you the best solution to meet the needs of your specific application.
