Description

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Purchasing is fundamental, representing a high percentage of your turnover, whether your company is industrial or distribution, partly determining your margin. A purchasing strategy that does not confuse price and cost is therefore crucial. Quality, deadlines, services, CSR aspects must be taken into account in your equation. My experience in companies of all sizes (VSE, SME, Mid-cap, Large Enterprise), both in France and abroad, will provide you with the necessary skills to improve your purchasing function.

Do your teams, across your various functions, use an ERP and a spreadsheet? You certainly have an unsuspected productivity potential. Let's talk about it.
