The fischer group, technological world market leader in important fields of fastening technology, relies on the spend analytics solution from ivoflow for direct purchasing. The digital solution provider from Koblenz is to support fischer in making its procurement more sustainable and realizing efficiency and savings potential. The software has been in use at the family-owned company since the beginning of 2025.
“We were looking for a digital tool that would enable us to gain more transparency about our purchasing data and derive specific measures from it,” says Romina Brezing , Purchasing/Controlling and Processes at fischer . “ivoflow impressed us with its holistic features, including market data analysis and individual reporting.” The platform has been used worldwide for direct purchasing volumes since January 2025.
Focus on Transparency and Analysis
The ivoflow platform integrates all procurement data via interfaces, providing complete transparency across various product categories, production sites, and suppliers of the market leader. A key advantage is access to market data – ranging from raw material and energy prices to customs duties, logistics costs, and exchange rates.
Torsten Bäuerle , Head of Procurement at fischer, explains: "At a glance, we can see how price fluctuations in raw materials affect our product categories and what steps make sense." This eliminates the need for manual analysis and reactive ad-hoc measures, freeing up time for developing category strategies. The procurement department is very satisfied with the project so far: "In addition to the extensive expertise, we particularly value the collaborative partnership and dedication of the ivoflow team."
