Schaeffler Australia Pty Ltd
E-Business
 The design of e-marketplaces allows business processes to be optimized
|
"Don't be left behind" The Schaeffler group of companies is a successful global supplier of rolling bearings and plain bearings, linear motion products and engine components. Our customers include primarily the automotive and machine building industries as well as other industrial sectors. These customers think highly of the quality of our products and the expertise that goes into making them. But success doesn't just pop out of nowhere. Since "thinking outside the box" is part of our company philosophy, the latest web-based technologies were integrated into our core business early on. Today, the "e-categories" can be found in all business sectors. In the purchasing, sales, financial and R & D sectors, e-business is used to optimize processes. Active e-business is one of our strategic goals. There are many fields of activity here, including e-procurement, e-marketing, e-logistics, e-engineering and many other areas starting with an "e". And there are new activities every day. But what do these activities actually involve? Below, a brief selection is provided of the many projects currently being pursued at the Schaeffler Group. |
