[Case Study on Material Procurement Improvement in the Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Industry] Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd.

Contributing to cost structure reform, such as reducing the purchasing process for indirect materials! An introduction to the case where "Monotaro" collaborated with "Benri Net" through punch-out integration.

At Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd., we have understood that the purchasing of indirect materials occurring at each base can be covered by utilizing the Monotaro site. However, moving forward with purchases involves significant labor, such as creating a new ID on Monotaro, building a purchasing flow, setting up accounting categories for purchases, and ensuring thorough communication to each site, which has become a challenge. Therefore, we proposed the integration of the purchasing management system "Benri Net" provided by Kaunet with our "Monotaro Catalog Site" through punch-out integration. The start of use is speedy and can be completed in about a month. Users can utilize Monotaro with the same ID they used for Benri Net, and we have been able to increase the number of purchasable items from 100,000 to 18 million while maintaining the same purchasing flow.
