Use Cases
Holger Leschinski
Former Head of Purchasing, Fränkische Rohrwerke
"Gas was negotiated directly with the individual energy suppliers. The load profiles, consumption points and consumption quantities were sent to different suppliers and final negotiations were carried out based on the results. That took about four weeks," says Holger Leschinski. The electricity purchase was similar: "In preparation, a few energy suppliers were asked for an offer and the different energy prices were painstakingly evaluated and compared. The effort was more manageable, but it also took two weeks," adds the energy buyer. He wished for faster processes and greater competition among the suppliers, because: The prices for electricity and gas are traded daily on the stock exchange. The longer the commitment periods, the fewer favourable market opportunities can be seized.
FRÄNKISCHE has been an enPORTAL customer since February 2016. Since all energy data is stored in the cloud, the purchasing manager can contact up to 620 suppliers at short notice via the online portal when market conditions are good. 24 hours later, the offers are available, which are clearly displayed in the automatically generated bidder comparison list. It can be seen at a glance which supplier offers the best energy price. After a two-hour binding period, the contract can be concluded. "It's easy to get an overview of the offers and the price difference is shown to me immediately. From our side, there is little effort behind it and it goes quickly," says Holger Leschinski.
