The Brief
Prominate runs successful global and regional programs for Siemens and has done for many years with local support in over 40 countries and key distribution centres in China, Germany, Dubai, Russia, Brazil and Argentina. With a wide range of brands and a highly diverse premiums collection Siemens required strong leadership and solutions, for effective development of their markets.
The Solution
We continue to implement a globally coordinated program with one global but locally managed agreement to accommodate specific needs for individual countries. In the UK, approximately half of the spend is on ‘collection’ items via an online global e-store. We have been able to ensure savings year-on-year. To make sure markets are approached individually and according to their needs, around half of all orders are treated as ‘specials’ and ordered directly through our local office with local account management and local invoicing in GBP Sterling.
