Digitalisation in procurement starts here
Smart-C reduces the need for manual ordering processes for recurring packaging items. The procurement team sets the rules, authorised users place orders independently, and every transaction remains traceable.

Access via the web, tablet or smartphone - 100%
Transactions are traceable on a user-by-user basis - clearly

The problem is that C-line items take up more processing time than necessary.
Packaging is critical from an operational perspective, but often involves a disproportionate amount of administrative work. Smart-C addresses precisely this disconnect.
Significant administrative burden
Manual enquiries, individual orders and internal coordination increase the transaction costs per order.
Low value, high volume
Packaging materials often have little monetary value compared to the logistical and administrative costs involved.
Little flexibility in line processes
If every order is processed centrally by the purchasing department, this leads to delays in production and the warehouse.
Lack of clarity regarding transparency
Without a digital overview, there is a lack of reliable information on demand, consumption and order history.
Controlled autonomy instead of manual micromanagement.
Purchasing sets the parameters. Users place orders independently within these parameters. This reduces operational friction without compromising governance.
- Price & Quantity
Orders may only be placed within defined contractual terms. - Delivery time & delivery location
Clear call-off logic for recurring packaging items. - Authorised users
Every transaction remains traceable to a specific account. - Overview & intervention
Purchasing remains in the loop at all times and can adjust parameters.
- 1. ControlOrders & Usage
- 2. RetrievalMobile or PC
- 3. UserPermissions
- 4. Framework contractTerms and Conditions
Purchasing stays in the loop at all times
Orders, requirements and consumption remain transparent. The purchasing department can review and adjust the terms and conditions and intervene if necessary.
- Order overview
- Consumption information
- Periodic contract adjustments
Trigger a call-off when the need arises
Packaging items can be ordered via smartphone, tablet or PC. This is ideal for warehouse, production and KANBAN-based processes.
- Mobile ordering
- QR and KANBAN logic
Manage authorised users effectively
Each user works with their own account. This ensures that orders and transactions can be traced at any time.
- Roles and permissions
- Traceable transactions
- No uncontrolled proliferation
Manage framework agreements digitally
Smart-C stores call-off contracts and links items, prices, quantities, delivery terms and contract durations in a single digital overview.
- Standardised contractual basis
- Clear item allocation
- Less manual coordination
- QR/KANBAN
- Mobile
- PC

The business case: less friction in day-to-day operations.
Smart-C is not an additional process. It replaces recurring manual steps with a controlled digital retrieval process.
- Time savings on repetitive procurement tasks
Standardised call-offs reduce manual ordering work and internal queries. - Digital KANBAN orders
Orders are triggered directly from the consumption process, rather than going through multiple stages. - Overview of demand and consumption
Orders, quantities and consumption become transparent and traceable. - Lower transaction costs
Less manual administration reduces the cost per operational order. - Periodic contract adjustments
Framework conditions can be reviewed and adapted to current requirements. - Control without bottlenecks
Procurement retains control and transparency, whilst users can place orders more quickly.
Simulate the administrative impact.
The calculator has been deliberately designed to be conservative. It shows just how quickly repetitive orders tie up processing time.
This is particularly suitable if packaging is reordered on an ongoing basis.
Smart-C is designed for recurring items, call-off procedures and operational demand drivers.
- Production
Reorder materials quickly, without any supply bottlenecks. - Warehouse & Logistics
Trigger KANBAN-style orders directly based on consumption. - Purchasing
Set the framework and maintain an overview. - Administration
Reduce the amount of routine ordering work.
Questions that customers typically ask.
A short answer, without getting too technical.
-
Is Smart-C a standard online shop?addNo. Smart-C is designed for on-demand contracts and recurring packaging items. The online shop is the ordering channel; Smart-C supplements it with contract logic, access rights and an overview.
-
Who is authorised to place orders?addOnly authorised users with their own account. This ensures that orders and transactions remain traceable.
-
Does Smart-C work on mobile devices?addYes. Smart-C works on smartphones, tablets and PCs. This means the call-off can be triggered wherever the need arises.
-
What remains the responsibility of the purchasing department?addThe purchasing department defines the price, quantity, delivery time, delivery location and authorised users. It maintains an overview and can intervene if necessary.
