Our services

Strategic sourcing & procurement

It takes strong sales skills to be a good buyer

Successful procurement depends on the ability to conceptualize and sell ideas, potential and advantage of partnerships and business models, externally as well as internally. Strategic buyers meet the world on your behalf. We can shape your story and face your business partners or equip your buyers to skillfully represent your brand.

Master your details to master negotiations

Negotiation in business is not poker, it’s not a game, it’s how you treat your data and master your facts to understand your leverage. We apply years of analytical competence and business intelligence skills into preparing negotiation tactics for your optimal results.

The buyer shouldn’t do most of the job, suppliers should

Master the craft of triggering supplier markets and discover the impact of real market competition. We screen the market, benchmark cost and performance, set you up with the necessary methodology, manage competitive tendering for you or teach your organization to lead the process.

Operational Purchasing

Let your business decide what your business needs

Transaction heavy, or few and large orders? Capital intensive? Large volume, low cost? High tech? Commodity goods? Stable access? Risk supplies? The nature of your business defines your best process and setup. Automation, integration, source to pay systems, e-procurement, e-auction tools, ERP, accounting, decision flow charts, approval flows, compliance, CSR, legal requirements, process flows, human capital, organizational topics, etc. You probably don’t need it all, but you to understand it and consider it when designing your purchasing function.

We assess your needs, propose solutions, support implementation, ensure competence and guide change.

Supply Chain Management

Keep your customers happy and yourself in control

Make supply chain your competitive edge and turn complexity into clarity. We can navigate for you in the time consuming yet deeply important jungle of forecasting, demand planning, inventory planning, inventory control, stock optimization, import, export, distribution planning, cross-docking, reverse logistics, returns handling, 3PL partnering, warehouse management, stock assembly etc, and provide timely and accessible management decision support.

Prepare a solid supply chain and sleep well at night.
