How Hilti B2B Procurement works

We offer several ways to link your e-procurement process with Hilti

Digital procurement ecosystems

Digital procurement ecosystems facilitate the connection between our systems at Hilti and your own. They offer a fast track for connectivity, help you to manage your purchase-to-pay process on one platform and offer several options for buying, ranging from e-marketplaces to EDI.

At Hilti we work with a vast network of digital procurement ecosystem partners, both locally and internationally, including Coupa, Ariba®, Jaggaer, GHX, Smart Equip, OSN and many more. We are constantly connecting new partners so that you can connect with us via your preferred ecosystem.

What our customers say about Hilti B2B procurement

Electronically submitting orders reduces errors and speeds up order processing.

“The Rollins and Hilti EDI integration through the Ariba network allowed us to gain significant benefits across the procurement and billing processes. Our custom Hilti eCatalogue on Ariba makes it easy for us to browse Hilti’s product portfolio and gain price transparency prior to placing orders. Electronically submitting orders reduces errors and speeds up order processing. EDI order confirmations and advance ship notifications improve our tracking and provide supply chain visibility. Finally, EDI invoice transmitting dramatically reduces the workload for our Accounts Payable department by eliminating the need for manual processing, reducing reconciliations, saving on paper and helping speed up payment lead time.”

Barbara Peek, Manager of Supplier Relationships, Procurement Services, Rollins Inc.

Well-functioning EDI process results in significant efficiency improvements and cost reduction over time.

“B2B communication is one of the key functions between Hilti and The Home Depot. The ability to submit and receive purchase orders through electronic data interchange eliminates the need for manual order entries, reduces errors, prevents lost POs, and speeds up the overall order processing time and accuracy. The advanced shipping notice alerts The Home Depot stores of the inbound shipment and reduces the number of phone calls made to Hilti regarding delivery details. Electronic invoicing eliminates the need for paper invoices and reduces the payment lead time to Hilti. Well-functioning EDI process results in significant efficiency improvements and cost reduction over time.”
