How Customers Benefit From innosabi Partner

Why involve partners in innovation?

Innovation does not come about by itself – it is the optimal combination of ideas, competences and resources. That is why it is important to involve the right people and stakeholders. In highly specialized industries, the right experts are not always found within the company. On the other hand, if you look for them in your ecosystem, synergies can easily arise and ideas can be implemented more quickly. External partners, such as suppliers, research institutions or start-ups, can have the missing piece of the puzzle for the next innovation.

Collaborating to create more innovation in the ecosystem

An ecosystem consists of a wide variety of stakeholders. Each of them can contribute to increasing the innovative strength of your company. While collaboration with customers often results in more needs-oriented products, collaboration with partners can lead to cost savings and higher speed in product development. Especially in highly specialized areas, companies can no longer build up all competences themselves – but specialized partners can.

Supplier innovation: Driving innovation together with suppliers

Involve your suppliers and partners in your innovation initiatives early on. In this way, challenges can be overcome together. With the innosabi technology, you have the opportunity to share current issues with your suppliers in a targeted manner. Invite partners with the appropriate know-how into your projects and use the knowledge and technologies of your network.

Open Call: An open submission channel

It is important to constantly develop and incorporate innovations into your processes or products to stay ahead of the competition. Therefore, it is worthwhile always having an open ear for the ideas of startups, young companies, research institutions, or partners. With the Open Call, these ideas are allowed to enter your company precisely.

Bayer Thrive

The platform for a strong ecosystem

Bayer uses the possibilities of the innosabi software to involve suppliers and partners in joint innovation projects. Purchasing to realize new products or technologies is thus initiated at an early stage of the innovation process. This not only minimizes in-house development costs, but also significantly shortens the time to market. Suppliers can present their innovative solutions to Bayer’s challenges on the platform for detailed evaluation. Selected innovations then flow seamlessly into the purchasing process.
