Webinar On-Demand: Kesseböhmer x Matchory (EN)

‍

How can a global manufacturer move from manual, time-consuming supplier searches to a fast, data-driven approach? That’s the question we explored in our recent webinar “From Excel to Excellence: Kesseböhmer’s Sourcing Transformation.”

‍

In this session, Marc Dieckmann, Global Supplier Development Manager at Kesseböhmer, and Aiko Wiegand, CEO and Co-Founder of Matchory, shared how Kesseböhmer rethought its sourcing strategy — moving away from Google searches and Excel sheets towards AI-powered supplier discovery.

‍

“Before, we thought we knew all possible suppliers in Europe already, but with Matchory we discovered new, relevant ones we hadn’t seen before. And their prices were even better.” — Marc Dieckmann

Key takeaways

‍

• Manual sourcing wastes enormous time and effort. Even a single RFQ process could take days of repetitive, low-value work when handled with Google and Excel.‍
• AI-powered supplier discovery unlocks efficiency and scale. By understanding sourcing needs beyond keywords, Matchory enabled Kesseböhmer to identify relevant and even niche suppliers much faster.‍
• 3. Change management is as important as technology. Driving adoption within procurement teams requires clear communication, collaboration, and internal champions who help colleagues embrace new ways of working.
