Teamwork Module for organization-wide collaboration in parts purchasing

In mechanical engineering companies, various departments are involved in the procurement of turning, milling and sheet metal parts – from design teams to operational purchasing. Cost-efficient and at the same time compliant collaboration is becoming increasingly important, especially under growing competitive and innovation pressure as well as with increasing regulatory requirements. With the add-on module, Spanflug offers the right digital infrastructure to meet these requirements.

Companies can assign individual roles and rights to users in their organization, such as design engineers, purchasers and administrators. This allows precise control over who can view and edit part archives, calculate quotes and place orders. This ensures compliance with established company structures and approval workflows and significantly simplifies collaboration along the entire purchasing project. Substitution arrangements and the transfer of cost-optimized parts from design to purchasing can also be implemented efficiently.

With this extension, Spanflug underlines all the more that its intelligent procurement platform meets the requirements of professional purchasing, with which processes can be designed more efficiently and costs can be reduced sustainably.

In Spanflug BUY, administrators can define individual rights and roles for their organization and assign these to individual users.

In addition to process efficiency, the module significantly contributes to data security. Access to sensitive part data can be controlled in a targeted manner, minimizing risks and ensuring compliance requirements are met. The integrated rights and roles system supports the consistent implementation of company guidelines and thus offers an additional level of security that can be set up by administrators with just a few clicks and adjusted as needed at any time.

“With the Teamwork Module, we enable our users to collaborate efficiently and digitally across departments,” explains Dr. Markus Westermeier, CEO at Spanflug. “Whether you are a corporate group or a mid-sized company – those who structure their processes and make them data-secure will gain a clear competitive advantage. Our new module supports this in a simple way, without a complex IT project, but with a clear, practical roles structure.”
