Logistics is one of the most complex commodities in purchasing when it comes to the intelligent interpretation of complex and large amounts of data. The main problem is that the data is not available in the necessary form in almost any company. Shipment structures, service levels, tariff structures, planned quantities, packing dimensions, delivery times, .... using the various data sources and bringing them together within a data room leads to the necessary transparency that strategic purchasing so urgently needs. Only those who understand how to implement this can communicate with the departments at eye level.
