An Interview with Rob van Ipenburg at Quyntess
“As experts in supply chain collaboration it’s excellent that for our customers we can leverage the Tradeshift network, the security and communication channels out of the box. This drastically reduces the time-to-value for our solutions. Customers and suppliers can truly hit the ground running.”
Rob van Ipenburg
Managing Director
Quyntess
Q:
What type of business do you generally tend to work with?
A:
“We typically work with large-scale manufacturing companies that have multiple factories in multiple countries with hundreds, if not thousands, of suppliers.
These organisations often have a very diverse IT landscape, including multiple ERP systems and numerous warehouse management systems.
It is our job to help simplify collaboration across that ecosystem.”
Q:
Why did it make sense for Quyntess to build applications on Tradeshift?
A:
“When we started Quyntess, we designed the solution around a portal concept, which meant effectively designing around a single enterprise customer.
This created some challenges, particularly when it came to engaging the so-called ‘long-tail’ of suppliers.
Moving Quyntess onto the Tradeshift platform and leveraging the Tradeshift network has allowed us to greatly increase the speed and depth of supplier onboarding we undertake for customers.
One word that keeps coming up in our conversation is ‘change.’ Help me understand what you mean by this.
The basic changes we look at are fluctuations at the order line level.
Those changes typically come in three flavours, dates, quantities and prices. Around 10% of changes originate from the buyer.
On average, suppliers will actively respond to around 30% of these change requests.
The other 70%, they just ignore them.
So if you require a different date from a supplier, you’re going to be flying blind a little under three times out of four.
We also regularly see businesses working off pricing data that’s out of date.
That can cause real havoc and a ton of extra work when an invoice comes in with a price you weren’t expecting.”
