Higher Versatility for LSK with Omnexus UltraLite

LSK Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH, a specialized supplier to the medical, automotive and electronics industries, chose Omnexus UltraLite to push forward the company’s e-Procurement initiative. With UltraLite integration, LSK can now order from all its key suppliers without the burdensome task of double entry, and enjoys up-to-the-minute order tracking.

“We foresee reduced transaction costs in a short time frame with Omnexus UltraLite, in addition to increased time savings for our company. Through UltraLite, Omnexus brings several advantages to LSK. We don’t need to enter data twice since UltraLite integrates us to a sufficient extent with our suppliers. In addition, the 24/7 benefits of the Omnexus platform allows us to check order status at any time. Thanks to Omnexus, we now have a direct online channel to three of our major suppliers: BASF, Bayer and DuPont”, said Bernd Steinbach, Purchasing Director, LSK Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH.

LSK Kunststoffverarbeitung GmbH manufactures high-precision products for use in various industries. The company knew that moving its order system online would help the company remain competitive by more quickly and efficiently meeting the needs of its customers. Past efforts at online procurement had frustrated the company’s buyers, however, as they were required to enter orders twice: once in their own company’s system, and once on each supplier’s Web site.

Dedicated representatives from Omnexus worked with LSK to understand the company’s needs and goals with regard to integration, quickly implementing an appropriate solution. Now, LSK connects with its main suppliers online using a single order template, ridding the necessity for double order entry.

”Working with LSK has been a great collaboration. The company executives have clear goals and choose the fastest route to achieve them. When we presented Omnexus UltraLite, we knew that our solution would be the answer to the demanding requirements of LSK”, said Oilver Franssen, e-Business Services D A CH, Omnexus.
