Most comprehensive solution
for Machinery & Equipment
Our customers hold leading positions within the Machinery & Equipment industry. Most of them faced common challenges before launching their digital transformation initiatives: the difficulty of managing a volatile order book and constant changes in the supplier base.
New suppliers
Industry research demonstrates a considerable supplier churn rate. This turnover is often increasing due to recent supply chain disruptions as well as new sourcing strategies, such as dual sourcing or re-shoring. As a result, Machinery & Equipment manufacturers have to onboard 35% of net new suppliers each year.
Unconfirmed orders
The manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM) can be very complex. Hence, when a third of the orders remain unconfirmed or have line-level exceptions, this consequently can result in high costs for direct materials, increased inventory levels, unplanned production downtime, increased lead times, and overall time to market.
Supplier OTIF
In order to build complex machinery with thousands of parts on time, this industry needs 95 to 100% compliance with on-time-in-full performance from suppliers. In today's reality, disruptions that begin with tier-2 or tier-3 suppliers have typically lowered performance. Increasing inventory to offset this is a costly and risky alternative.
Your priority comes first
Start improving on your biggest priority within 90 days
Whether your focus lies on improving collaboration processes around procurement, forecasts, inventory, manufacturing, logistics, maintenance & quality, or invoicing, with our apps we offer you a unique value proposition of having a cost-effective and modular solution with the flexibility to start your digital transformation project from any prioritized business need.
Of course, you have your internal systems and a potentially complex IT landscape. Quyntess' supply chain apps can perfectly integrate with those, allowing you to fully automate your business processes directly from your backend systems to an entire ecosystem of global business partners, while already reaping savings and benefits within just a matter of weeks.
Fast and easy supplier onboarding
Your supplier base will include hundreds or thousands of suppliers, and with an annual supplier turnover of 35%, integration complexities and delays in onboarding can impact your procurement and supply chain operations. Quyntess offers a network-centric approach, with platforms like Tradeshift covering 190 countries, with over 2.5 million pre-connected companies which can all instantly activate any of our SCM apps. We help you to deal with this pace of change.
Visibility and supplier performance
You simply cannot afford to rely on good faith for such a large number of parts from so many suppliers to come in smoothly. Having ‘control tower’ visibility on all transactions statuses, including the ones that are missing, and having real-time KPIs and active alerting on these exceptions is essential to control your supply chain beyond your business borders. Our supply chain apps have built-in workflows, controls, and notifications that help you achieve this.
Collaboration beyond the PO
The lack of structured feedback and response from suppliers makes it difficult to achieve a high-quality procurement process. Actual quantities shipped and shipment dates may differ from the confirmation; transport might be booked late or delayed and visibility on actual inbound schedules to your docks not available. Our apps allow you to control the P2P cycle beyond the PO: from sharing IP-protected documents, forecasts, and inventory to product master data updates.
Freight cost control
There is transportation associated with every PO: starting with the calculation to identify the optimal type of transport, through the selection of service providers, to invoicing and dispute management. Getting a grip on freight costs at a granular level can be extremely complex and validation is time-consuming. Our logistics apps give you a collaborative process to manage freight contracts, agree on unplanned cost items, and settle freight invoices automatically.

Supply Chain Apps that can meet any business priority without complicated "suite" deployments
With our composability promise we provide API-driven process integration between apps and external systems. These give you the flexibility to pursue your specific digital transformation priorities. We support you to consolidate your end-to-end supply chain processes, whether it starts with procurement, forecasts, inventory, manufacturing, logistics, maintenance & quality, or invoicing. It is all available for you on one single collaborative business network, like Tradeshift and project44.
Because we incorporated the complexity in our application and integration data model, your teams only have to navigate the intuitive user interface to manage their role in the supply chain. That means more real-time data, smarter performance indicators, better AI, and an increasingly resilient supply chain ecosystem.
Forecast Collaboration
The Forecast Collaboration App allows collaboration between buyers and suppliers on developments in time-phased demand. With this app, both parties have access to the same demand & supply data, can set up a contract-based procurement process, and will be guided by the workflow to efficiently move through changes in the supply plan and the associated capacity from the supplier.
Order Collaboration
The Order Collaboration App optimizes collaboration around purchase order processes between buyers and sellers. The full integration with the supplier's ERP system enables smooth data exchange, enables end-to-end monitoring, creates real-time transparency, and can be used to take corrective actions on exceptions that occur at the order line level to ensure timely and efficient (re)planning.
Shipment Collaboration
With the Shipment Collaboration App, suppliers can easily build shipments from open Order Lines or Schedules and announce these to buyers as well as to a logistic service provider. These Advance Shipment Notifications (ASNs) are your most effective control of actual supply performance. Advanced features are also available, such as "pack-and-stack", and data enrichment with serial numbers and certificates.
Electronic Document Management
The Electronic Document Management App is a supporting add-on to the transactional Quyntess SCM apps. The app simplifies and secures communication and collaboration with external partners by storing all important documents, including their version control in one place. This makes it easier to track, manage, and share all types of documents with extra security and access control.
Product Data Management
The Product Data Management app synchronizes and updates item master data between your ERP system and the suppliers in a controlled manner. The app ensures that there are fewer issues with replacement items, and specification updates including certificates and other documents. This will lead to less dead stock, or incorrectly ordered parts, and enables the controlled management of associated documents.

Marel
Supply Chain Transformation Study
As part of its digital transformation journey, the company wanted to strengthen end-to-end supply chain collaboration and bring handling large amounts of non-automated daily purchase orders amongst hundreds of suppliers into focus first. This resulted in shorter buying lead times and secured their manufacturing planning without increasing the inventory levels.
