Business Benefits

Drive your success with these business benefits

The current approach to managing production bottlenecks is inefficient and costly.

  • At present, supply shortages are typically detected only at short notice.
  • Today, shortage management is still handled manually.
  • Excess stock that ties up capital and wastes storage space.

PURIS offers 3 key benefits for all members of the value chain:

  • More transparency, helping both sides make smarter, data-based decisions.
  • Better coordination between inventory and production — so we can plan and improve together.
  • Mutual data transparency enables deeper insights across the supply chain receive – in a what you share is what you receive in a unified format.

In what frequency is data exchanged via PURIS?

On a daily basis: 6 a.m. (according to PURIS Annex data contract)

What are the biggest difficulties suppliers face when starting with PURIS?

From experience, creating the technical requirements is the biggest challenge for Catena-X internally, not the PURIS use case itself.

Is participation in PURIS / Catena-X mandatory?

In the medium term, yes, as this will be integrated into the procurement contract documents on an ongoing basis.

Which parts are included with PURIS? How is a roll-out of the parts planned?

In principle, PURIS has no restrictions on components. The project defines which components are used to start with.

How does data exchange work with limited data availability (e.g. only stock and production)?

It depends on the data field, as there are mandatory and optional data fields. Data availability must be analyzed and specified in more detail during the course of the project.

What costs incur due to PURIS over time?

The costs are made up of the Catena-X or Cofitnity-X costs and the internal costs. The internal costs depend on the internal data structure. There are no PURIS-specific costs. There are also one-off Catena-X onboarding costs.

Is the PURIS FOSS app compatible with a generic EDC?

Yes, the PURIS FOSS app can be used with a generic EDC or the included PURIS EDC.
