Dirk Lieske, Head of Energy Purchasing at thyssenkrupp Materials Trading: "By digitizing all data relevant to the energy industry from the Group, we are now in a position to issue tenders at short notice. By pooling all requirements, our small team has succeeded in achieving significant cost savings for the Group as a whole." In addition to the savings potential, digitalized purchasing offers further opportunities for thyssenkrupp’s materials experts. What used to mean extensive research into suppliers and prices can now be viewed centrally on a single platform. "Our service provider enPORTAL offers us a transparent comparison with exchange-traded electricity and gas prices with the possibility of addressing over 600 audited energy suppliers digitally," says Lieske.
