In search of more efficient energy purchasing, FRÄNKISCHE Rohrwerke Gebr. Kirchner GmbH & Co. KG decided to use enPORTAL. In April 2016, the internationally active production company from Königsberg launched an online tender via the web-based marketplace for the first time. Good purchasing timing, short response times and the great competition among suppliers led to an immense reduction in costs: the pure energy price for electricity was reduced by 30 percent for the 2017 delivery year. Purchases were made by mouse click in less than two hours.

Heinzler Maschinenbau GmbH is a European company with Bavarian roots with one site each in Bruckmühl and Hungary. The medium-sized family business specialises in classic areas of machine and overhead line construction as well as antenna technology. In order to make energy procurement more efficient and take greater advantage of competition in the energy market, Managing Director Robert Heinzler opted for the free commercial service from enPORTAL in July 2017. With the use of the online portal, standardised processes and competition among 620 suppliers, a saving of 9,000 euros for electricity and gas was achieved for 2018.
