Würth’s B2B online procurement platform has gone live in Germany, Fastener + Fixing Magazine reports.

Wucato is an e-procurement solution and online procurement platform for the B2B sector. It enables customers to access more than 500,000 products from suppliers within the Würth Group, as well as third party suppliers.

“With Wucato we are well equipped to react to developments on the market, which are driven by digitalisation and the evolving procurement behaviour of our customers,” stated Bernd Herrmann, member of the Würth central managing board. “Wucato offers our customers a unique purchasing and procurement platform and represents a big step towards expanding our digital competitiveness.”

Wucato will enable customers to buy all of their products from one central marketplace, according to Fastener + Fixing. All ordering and invoicing processes are compiled together on a single platform, reducing transaction costs.

“The existing sales force of the companies within the Würth Group will visit and attend to larger customers from the fields of craft and industry in combination with this new platform, thus integrating it optimally into the existing sales structures of the Würth Group,” the company added.
