about HYUNDAI KEFICO VIETNAM
Hyundai Kefico Vietnam is a leading automotive components manufacturer operating a high-capacity facility with 3,000 employees and managing over $30 million in annual indirect procurement spend.
The Challenge
Prior to adopting ABIM’s E-Bidding platform, Hyundai Kefico’s procurement team relied entirely on manual, paper-based workflows and Excel spreadsheets to manage indirect purchasing across the manufacturing facility.
Key operational challenges included:
- Manual Communications: Procurement staff had to call suppliers individually to collect quotes and negotiate pricing over the phone.
- Compromised Bid Security: Bids and price submissions could not be effectively sealed or secured prior to formal tender deadlines, creating compliance risks.
- Paper-Based Approvals: Internal sign-offs relied on physical paper routing, causing approval bottlenecks and increasing the risk of human error.
- Manual Data Aggregation: Teams spent substantial manual hours consolidating individual vendor quotes into evaluation sheets.
What did ABIM do
ABIM Software designed and implemented a custom, centralized E-Bidding and procurement management system tailored specifically to Hyundai Kefico’s operational scale and compliance requirements.
ABIM delivered the following solutions:
- Full-Suite Procurement Modules: Developed end-to-end modules covering Purchase Request (PR) management, online vendor bidding, supplier directory management, and executive analytics reporting.
- Enterprise SAP ERP Integration: Built seamless API integrations connecting the E-Bidding platform directly into Hyundai Kefico’s SAP ecosystem for automated data sync across financial and operational workflows.
- Confidentiality & Bid Security: Implemented cryptographic access controls ensuring all tender submissions remain encrypted and inaccessible until official tender opening times.
- Ongoing Engineering & Maintenance: Delivered continuous system optimizations, proactive maintenance, and rapid technical support to maintain system availability over an 8+ year partnership.
