Context and Goal

The MD Pharma group faced major challenges in its purchasing area, where a large volume of information was not shared or leveraged across other business units. Decision-making relied heavily on the personal judgement of purchasing managers, with limited use of data.
The goal was to create an integrated technological tool to consolidate supplier negotiations and purchasing data, making the process more transparent, efficient, and data-driven.


Challenges

  • Different approaches to supplier contact (telephone, digital, face-to-face, online portals).
  • Lack of a consolidated record of negotiated commercial terms.
  • Significant variability in discount structures (commercial, financial, bonuses, rebates).
  • Complexity in stock analysis and invoice verification.


Solution

With over 1,240 hours of analysis and implementation, the agap2IT team delivered an intuitive, easy-to-use web platform that:

  • Centralises all past and ongoing supplier negotiations.
  • Supports the negotiation process and stock analysis.
  • Enables automated verification of purchase invoices.
  • Issues purchase orders (POs) to track products ordered versus received.


Results and Impact

  • Increased transparency and traceability in supplier negotiations.
  • More data-driven decision-making, reducing reliance on individual judgement.
  • Enhanced operational efficiency and improved stock control.
  • Greater consistency in commercial practices across business units.
