Since 2012, Stadtwerke Solingen GmbH has been working with Achilles to optimize its supplier management processes. This successful collaboration has now been extended for another three years. As part of the partnership, the company has set new standards in supplier relations to enhance efficiency and minimize risks.
Unified Supplier Management for Quality and Compliance
With the MyAchilles platform, Stadtwerke Solingen has established a centralized system requiring supplier registration. This system enables comprehensive risk analysis and targeted searches for new, qualified partners, ensuring standardized compliance and a stable, future-proof supplier base.
Christian Schneider, Head of Procurement and Materials Management, explains:
“Systematic evaluation and onboarding of suppliers are crucial – they safeguard our processes and minimize risks.”
Tailored Feedback and Sustainable Collaboration
MyAchilles provides powerful tools for supplier assessments, allowing Stadtwerke Solingen to objectively evaluate the quality and reliability of its partners. These tools are flexibly adapted to the company’s specific goals and requirements.
The result: an environment that fosters growth and mutual responsibility. Supplier evaluations are not just about meeting standards but also form the foundation for long-term, trustworthy partnerships. Thanks to the adaptability of MyAchilles, Stadtwerke Solingen can promote productive collaboration while addressing individual challenges in supply chain management.
Proactive Risk Management and Personalized Support
Risk management is a core component of the procurement strategy. MyAchilles offers in-depth insights into supplier compliance, financial stability, and certifications. This data-driven approach facilitates well-informed decisions and ensures resilience against potential supply chain disruptions.
Beyond technology, Achilles provides exceptional value through a dedicated account management team. From proactive consulting to rapid problem-solving, Achilles experts offer tailored support whenever needed. Schneider highlights the importance of this collaboration:
“The expertise and quick response of the Achilles team are excellent.”
Looking Ahead: CSRD and GoSupply
Looking to the future, Stadtwerke Solingen is eager to explore upcoming developments from Achilles, particularly in CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and the GoSupply platform. These new solutions aim to provide additional tools for effectively managing sustainability requirements and regulatory compliance. This reinforces Stadtwerke Solingen’s commitment to responsible procurement and sustainable corporate governance.
