Buy

Procurement of raw materials, inputs and packaging is not as straight forward as many assume. Procurement is a combination of strategy, process and intuition. If your perspective regarding sourcing or procurement strategy is simply calling a supplier and paying, then exceptional unseen value is just waiting to be unlocked.

The question becomes: What is the right strategy to harness the ideal buying process?

Meaning:

The best input pricing

Reduction in Service Failure

Minimal spoils / obsolescence

Another consideration: How could “Inbound Logistics” impact the Operations?

In this arena, details and deep knowledge are important to achieve sourcing or procurement results. Going alone, without proper analysis and strategy, is akin to a road trip without a map. You may get to your destination at some point, but the trip will almost certainly be costly and time consuming.

We will leverage forecasting and communications with Sales to drive this effort.

Regardless of the levels of experience involved in your current process, we pride ourselves in delivering a collaborative procurement solution that leads to tangible, real-world results.
