Electronic Commodity Sourcing


	Benchmarking


	Benchmarking brings together the capabilities of the best purchasing organisations. Since 2001, ecs runs a Benchmarking Network for electronic devices. Participants' purchasing data are consolidated and analysed anonymously. Part of the feedback to customers is an analysis of purchasing potential.

	Highlights Some highlights from 5 years of project experience with national and international customers: For devices with reference data, we find on average 5% additional potential on negotiated prices The use of the Benchmarking Network is interesting for companies of any size Benchmarking often even has effects on components without Benchmark (rollover effects, negotiation logic & strength) The purchasing organisation's capability to act freely regarding strategy and cooperation with suppliers is fully maintained (no auctions or similar)

	Benchmarking is a matter of trust. We are happy to provide you with more information. Or we make an appointment, in which we explain to you personally the possibilities which the ecs Benchmarking Network offers to its participants.
