DEHN SE runs on Onventis

Find out how DEHN, an international family-owned company specializing in lightning protection, surge protection, and occupational safety, has successfully digitized its indirect purchasing with Onventis. Before the platform was introduced, manual purchase requisition processes in SAP, stagnating catalog quotas, and numerous Excel-based workflows were a daily reality—with correspondingly high operational costs.

By using the Onventis Procurement Suite, DEHN was able to significantly improve key performance indicators: The catalog rate rose from 25% to 65%, the platform’s utilization rate is now consistently above 90%, and the maverick buying rate has also been noticeably reduced. In addition, purchasing and consumers benefit from a user-friendly interface, clear processes, and the direct involvement of suppliers.

The development of the KPIs makes the effect of Onventis immediately tangible: procurement processes are standardized, transparency is increased, and operational activities are reduced. This frees up time for purchasing teams to focus on value-adding tasks.
