Stanley Perrin

I am a purchasing consultant specializing in SMEs, with strong expertise in purchasing consulting, operational purchasing reinforcement, and purchasing transition management.

I support leaders looking for an immediately operational purchasing consultant, capable of quickly taking over direct and indirect purchasing (OPEX) scopes, securing suppliers, and improving purchasing performance.

My experience as an SME purchasing consultant is based on over 10 years in purchasing, mass retail, retail, and category management, with responsibilities for scopes ranging from €25 million to €70 million.

I work on issues related to supplier negotiation, structuring the purchasing function, margin optimization, cash management, and supplier risk control.

As an operational purchasing consultant, I undertake purchasing consulting missions, temporary purchasing reinforcement, or transition management, particularly in contexts of growth, tension, or reorganization.

My role is to take over an existing purchasing scope, conduct supplier negotiations (prices, terms, contracts), improve margins and cash flow, and implement simple and effective purchasing KPIs (TCO, turnover, availability).

My added value as a purchasing consultant for SMEs lies in a pragmatic, hands-on, and results-oriented approach, without methodological heaviness.

I act as integrated purchasing support for the teams, with a strong business culture (P&L, cash, operational constraints) and direct collaboration with the leader.

I primarily work with SMEs, mid-cap companies, and retail players, with a constant objective: to secure purchases and quickly create measurable value.
