“Simplifying our procurement process and enhancing our supply chain engagement was a key initiative for us in 2019. We selected the AM-Connect technology platform because it fundamentally aligns with what we are trying to accomplish as a business. Its core feature set has enabled us ease of access into the Tier 2 and Tier 3 supply chain whilst providing further transparency into the markets we serve.”, says Jonathan Chapman, Managing Director UK at Burns & McDonnell.
As a global firm providing a full-suite of engineering, architecture, construction and consulting services across all industries, including Transmission and Distribution, Burns & McDonnell is always a step ahead in utilizing innovative technology to drive business efficiency. “Our clients have been telling us they are looking for a new approach to project delivery with an emphasis on single tier contracting. To continue being responsive to their needs, we needed to look at new tools that enable us to be innovative in the way we engage, select, manage and ultimately partner with our supply chain to deliver successful outcomes for our clients”, says Nick Busby, EPC Project Manager at Burns & McDonnell.
AM-Connect serves the purpose of gaining and maintaining access to suppliers and service providers. It is designed in a manner to support utilities, EPCs and Tier 1 suppliers in finding the right partners in the supply chain by providing more transparency to identify capabilities and expertise among the market players with respect to service portfolios and certifications.
Sabrina Kellermann, CEO of AM-Connect states: “Being a startup company, we are motivated by continuously delivering increased value for our clients. Our passion is to make the tendering process as simple as possible and to empower our users to make the best decisions when selecting a supplier. One example of how we deliver is our star rating feature for accomplished works. Besides transparency on certifications, we thereby also deliver insights into real customer experience, on aspects such as quality of communication, reliability, timeliness or price-performance-ratio. In our personal life, we already understand how to get the best value for the price. In terms of travel, e.g. when booking hotels, we are checking ratings from other travelers to make sure we pick the best option. So, why not apply this proven mechanism also to our work life?”
AM-Connect uses the advantages of online communities combined with a selection of smart features to do the perfect business matchmaking in only a few clicks. With unlimited access to knowledge and resources, it enables all platform users to benefit from the power of many.
