The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the industry, yet humans are often left behind. Facturee now demonstrates why AI plus personal consultation delivers the best results.

A study conducted by the market research firm Caspar Feld on behalf of Facturee concludes that digital procurement options are becoming increasingly established. This is happening to meet the growing demands of modern purchasing processes. According to the study, around 79 percent can envision digital manufacturing service providers as permanent primary suppliers for their orders. At the same time, over 47 percent still prefer personal contact with the manufacturing service provider. However, customers needing a custom part get everything from a single source at Facturee! This includes supplier search, technical consulting, manufacturing, post-processing, and surface finishing. This offering saves time, costs, and risks because the coordination of all steps, including quality assurance, is handled through a single interface, as Facturee explains. Moreover, the company maintains a comprehensive network of over 2,000 manufacturing partners, covering nearly all areas—including CNC and sheet metal processing, 3D printing, casting and forging processes, as well as surface technology and component hardening.

Modern Procurement—When Algorithms Meet Experience!

AI enables Facturee to provide a data-based preselection of suitable suppliers in seconds. The software not only analyzes CAD drawings based on standard parameters but also detects the finest tolerances, special features, and potential sources of error that often go unnoticed by the human eye. This precision, as the company emphasizes, is combined with personal consultation—essentially like a local supplier. Each customer is assigned a dedicated contact person who clarifies all individual requirements and supports them throughout the entire process. Instead of instant quoting, Facturee offers tailored proposals. There is no anonymous black box blindly relying on algorithms, as they stress. The best result often arises, as experience shows, through direct exchange with the customer—this applies to both technical and economic aspects.

Nothing Illustrates This Procurement Advantage as Clearly as an Example:

Let's assume a company in mechanical engineering requires a complex component with multiple machining steps and specialized surface treatment. Initially, the request specifies a conventional solution. However, during a consultation with Facturee, it becomes clear that an alternative manufacturing method could deliver better results with tighter tolerances and shorter processing time. This suggestion is based, among other things, on the Facturee team's experience from projects with similar components and applications. Only after this decision-making process does the AI come into play! It then matches the updated requirements with the partner network and identifies providers that precisely meet this combination of methods and specifications. Filtering is done based on quality, price, or delivery time, but it's not simply about finding the cheapest option, as Facturee emphasizes—all criteria must be met.
