Each scenario comes from real cases in industrial SMEs & mid-caps. The free Flash Audit identifies which applies to you — and quantifies the EBITDA impact.
Each scenario generates two types of gains: cash recovered (gaps, duplicates, overcharges — net margin straight into your EBITDA) and strategic time freed (your teams negotiate, manage and plan instead of reconciling Excel files). And remember: €1 recovered = €1 of EBITDA = €7 in enterprise value.
Sales Administration juggles 20 Excel files for 3 distinct stock types (components, finished goods, WIP). No automatic reconciliation. Anomalies — stockouts, forgotten backorders, yield gaps — are detected too late, sometimes after delivery. The team spends 1 full day per week on this.
The Vision engine parses all 20 files automatically and normalizes formats. The Matching engine reconciles the 3 data silos in real time. The Lookout engine anticipates stockouts 5 days before they occur. A single cockpit replaces back-and-forth between files — without changing team habits.
Each site has its own schedules, stock levels and GMP constraints. The consolidated view only exists in PowerPoint presentations updated once a week. The supply chain team spends hours preparing each steering meeting. Critical alerts (supplier delays, compliance gaps) arrive too late.
The Vision engine connects on top of SAP and consolidates data from all 5 sites without modifying the source system. The Vigilance engine continuously checks GMP compliance and AI Act obligations. The Dispatch engine tracks critical deadlines (certifications, audits, deliveries). A single cockpit provides the consolidated real-time view.
Supplier records (certifications, financial health, contacts, capabilities) live in an Excel file nobody maintains. Before each tender, a buyer spends days manually verifying and enriching each record. At-risk suppliers (deregistration, receivership) are only detected after the fact.
The Lookout engine continuously monitors public sources (business registries, ISO certifications, sector news). The Vision engine automatically enriches supplier records — over 90% of data updated without human intervention. The Matching engine scores and ranks suppliers by weighted criteria, ready for tender.
Invoices arrive as PDFs, reference prices live in another file (or in SAP), and comparison is done line by line manually. Verification time is considerable and undetected gaps accumulate month after month. Without a tool, it's impossible to know how much you're overpaying.
The Vision engine captures data from every invoice using intelligent OCR. The Matching engine automatically cross-checks every invoiced line against referenced prices in contracts or purchase orders. The Dispatch engine triggers disputes for every detected gap and tracks them to resolution.
Impossible to compare procurement performance across the 5 companies. Each thinks they're doing well, but nobody has the same KPIs, thresholds, or processes. Margin leaks are invisible at holding level — and every lost euro weighs 7 times on portfolio valuation.
The Flash Audit is deployed across each portfolio company in parallel. The Vision engine ingests data from each ERP (SAP, Sage, Cegid, Divalto). The Matching engine scans 24 months of history per company. The Vigilance engine scores supplier panels. The fund receives a consolidated report: maturity by company, identified leaks, quantified quick wins, and prioritized action plan.
Free, no commitment. A maturity diagnostic across 5 axes — we identify quick wins and quantify the EBITDA impact.
