Digital Transformation in Ekol Logistics’ Supplier Processes
Ekol is one of the leading companies in logistics and integrated transportation in Turkey and Europe. Due to the inefficiencies caused by managing high-volume supplier interactions manually, Ekol recognized the need for a more systematic and digital approach. To manage core processes such as supplier applications, action tracking, and supplier evaluations more effectively, the company began searching for a supplier portal that could integrate with SAP.
The Digital Transformation Started with JetSRM!
To meet Ekol Logistics’ specific needs, the JetSRM team began developing the SAP-integrated Supplier Portal. JetSRM was customized to align with Ekol’s processes, and launched with modules for Application Management, Action Management, Supplier Evaluation and Quality & Contract Management.
- Application Management Module digitized the registration process for new suppliers. Applications began to be received online, and evaluation processes became trackable through the system.
- Action Management Module enabled systematic tracking of internal and external audits, non-conformance notifications, and corrective-preventive actions.
- Supplier Evaluation Module centralized performance-based feedback, scoring, and evaluation reports.
What Changed in Ekol's Supplier Relations?
- Supplier candidates can now submit their applications through the portal, and evaluation processes proceed transparently.
- All data is managed bidirectionally integrated with SAP, eliminating information duplication and manual entry errors.
- Actions identified during audits can be recorded in the system, assigned to responsible parties, and tracked based on deadlines.
- Supplier evaluation reports allow the strengths and improvement areas of business partners to be monitored via the system.
- With digitalized processes, purchasing and quality teams are relieved from operational burdens.
- Historical tracking of processes and KPI-based reporting can now be performed easily through JetSRM.
Conclusion
Thanks to this transformation, Ekol Logistics ensured that data is managed from a single source through SAP integration and significantly reduced the manual workload.
