Success Story SIEMENS<\/h1>\n

From zero visibility to 100% of intellectual services under control<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

“Before, it was all a bit of a blur. Today, thanks to OBMS, I analyse spend by supplier, by job role, by division. Frankly, it’s now a real pleasure.”<\/p>\n

Siemens Mobility France in a few words<\/h2>\n

Siemens Mobility France has 750 employees across three sites (Lille, Toulouse, Paris) and works on strategic rail infrastructure and urban mobility projects: automation of the Paris metro (lines 1 and 14), rolling stock for airports and regional networks. Intellectual services account for nearly 50% of purchasing volume<\/strong> of the entity. It is strategic spend.<\/p>\n

The challenge<\/h2>\n

On arriving, Roland Binder, Purchasing Director, found a structural problem: the price grids negotiated with 35 suppliers were scattered across Excel files. It was impossible to know whether orders complied with the negotiated prices. The data existed, but it could not be used.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/h2>\n

Siemens France deployed OBMS in December 2024 across a scope of \u20ac30M of annual spend<\/strong> on engineering services, covering technical assistance, fixed-price and time-and-materials work.<\/p>\n

The end of the blur<\/h2>\n

Before OBMS, Cl\u00e9mence P\u00e9richon managed \u20ac30M of spend without being able to check whether orders complied with the negotiated prices. Supplier monitoring was limited to an overall volume, with no breakdown by job role, by division, or by quality of response to tenders.<\/p>\n

\n

“Today, thanks to OBMS, I am able to analyse spend by supplier, by type of job role, but also by division. Before, it was all a bit of a blur.”<\/p>\n

Data ready for the next referencing rounds and for use by AI<\/h2>\n

Siemens France is preparing its 2027-2028 referencing based on the data consolidated in OBMS: most-purchased profiles, suppliers systematically outside the grid, response history. What used to take weeks of manual consolidation can now be read in a few clicks, paving the way for AI-driven analysis.<\/p>\n

\n

“We can identify the suppliers who always invoice too much or who always make proposals above the grid. It lets us target the right suppliers better.”<\/p>\n
