Procurement Summit 2023 in Hamburg:
New ideas for diversity and digitization in procurement
The STEIN media group was at the Procurement Summit in Hamburg from June 21-22, 2023.
We can look back on a successful event with many new contacts and an intensive exchange with purchasing decision-makers and experts from other industries.
A variety of lectures and discussions stimulated new approaches. We were particularly impressed by the emphasis on digitization and its fundamental importance for procurement. The networking events were ideal for deepening existing relationships and forging new partnerships.

Ratings
A. Stein'sche Buchhandlung rated as an A-supplier!
Mercateo is Europe's leading B2B procurement platform for business customers and ensures professional supplier management.
The IT company was founded in Munich in 2000 and is active in over 14 European countries. Suppliers and buyers conduct commercial transactions on the Mercateo platform. However, Mercateo itself does not have any warehouses.
Items are delivered directly from the supplier to the customer on behalf of Mercateo. The supplier is therefore responsible for punctual and damage-free delivery.
Mercateo always has high expectations of its partners, which the A. Stein'sche Buchhandlung happily fulfils.
Once a year, Mercateo evaluates the suppliers according to the ABC classification. The proportion of A-suppliers is very small, the majority of suppliers are in the C-parts area.
The following criteria were highlighted:
1. Logistics
2. Conditions
3. Content quality / quantity
4. Operational
5. Technical
We are particularly pleased with the evaluation of the operational area, as we received a particularly good rating for our customer service.
