Starting point
Short-notice one-time purchases caused a lot of extra manual work at Witzenmann outside the standard ERP process: supplier search, setup, compliance checks (creditworthiness, sanctions lists, contracts), plus coordination and payment terms.
What tied up capacity?
Many follow-up questions, approval loops and corrections lengthened the lead time. Procurement jumped between ERP, email and folders.
Why was it expensive?
Every one-time purchase started practically from zero: new contacts, new files, new approvals. The processing effort dominated the total cost.
Where were the risks?
Evidence was scattered, and responsibilities and checking steps were not documented consistently. Errors became visible late and audits took longer.
Our strategy & implementation
At Witzenmann we centralized the processing of one-time purchases through a single-creditor model; the approach was introduced successfully and anchored across the company.
One supplier for everything
Witzenmann set Pedlar up once as a vendor in the ERP. All one-time purchases ran through this vendor ID, and new supplier master records were no longer needed.
24-hour confirmation
Orders from the ERP went to Pedlar and were confirmed within 24 hours.
End-to-end processing
Pedlar took over the processing and invoiced the recipient directly.
Compliance
No manual checkout, no individual supplier setups, standardized compliance.
