E-Procurement
Globalisation, digitisation, increasing shortage of resources: Forming solid, cooperative relationships with our strong suppliers is our answer to these challenges.
In particular, digitisation creates change: All products and services will be purchased digitally in the future. This not only means an automation of procurement processes, but also ensures an efficient, paperless and therefore eco-friendly way of working.
Thanks to close cooperation with our suppliers, we can guarantee our customers that we will provide high quality products delivered on schedule.
Digitisation of procurement processes
Digitisation is an important pillar in DMG MORI’s future strategy. In line with this strategy, we’ve created the “DMG MORI Partner Network”, which is based on SAP Ariba technology.
In order to make the processing of orders and invoices easier for you, we want to handle the processes digitally going forward.

We’re currently rolling the system out in the production plants and their purchasing departments. Our subsidiary GILDEMEISTER Drehmaschinen GmbH is piloting the system. Queries, tenders and auctions will take place exclusively via this network from that time.
All you need is a standard Internet connection with an available Internet browser because this is a cloud solution. No additional software is therefore needed.
For further questions in particular about how to use the system, you can send an email at any time to: dmgmori@ariba.com
