Purchasing everything, at one central location – this is what the E/D/E offers its member companies, thus making corporate actions easier. The central purchasing department is synonymous with the bundling of all tasks allocated to purchasing within the E/D/E.

All purchasing management actions are carried out by the E/D/E as a central association. With central purchasing, the return of E/D/E member companies can be considerably increased. This deals with the summary of purchasing activities, the bundling of quantities and the improvement of logistics and auditing. With central purchasing, efficiency throughout the entire procurement process is increased.

Through this concentration of purchasing power, attractive price reduction potentials can be achieved. In addition, electronic procedures within the central purchasing department are optimised. Individual process stages are saved through the use of modern and efficient IT tools. In addition, an integral system for all stages of the procurement process is created by electronically linking individual systems.
