75 percent of the global TOP 100 automotive suppliers use SupplyOn, 33 percent more business relationships, 45 percent more transactions, 66 percent more users
SupplyOn AG, provider of the leading communications platform for the automotive and manufacturing industry, which networks thousands of companies worldwide, looks back on a successful business year in 2007.
The number of business relationships that are portrayed over the platform rose in the past year by 33 percent to 18,000. New customers on the buying side, such as Kautex Textron and Yazaki, as well as the increased implementation of additional solutions for existing customers, in particular in the area of quality management were contributing factors. Worldwide, 75 percent of the global TOP 100 automotive suppliers work with the SupplyOn solutions.
The number of transactions increased from 3.2 million in 2006 to 4.7 million. The number of users rose to over 60,000. SupplyOn´s sales revenue was 20.1 million euros in 2007, which relates to a six percent increase in sales compared to the previous year. The 2.6 million euros that were invested last year form the basis for ongoing strong growth for the next years.
"This development shows that SupplyOn has asserted itself as the clear market leader in an increasingly consolidated market: On the one hand, our platform is being used more comprehensively and intensively, and on the other, it is becoming the standard for more and more companies when communicating with business partners", explains Markus Quicken, executive board of SupplyOn AG.
The continuous growth confirms the success of SupplyOn´s unique approach on the market: Global communications between customers and suppliers in the automotive and manufacturing industry can only succeed by using consistent process standardization and with the help of a reliable, worldwide service concept. The approaches of individual companies or smaller providers are unable to meet the requirements functionally and cannot be implemented worldwide.
