FAQ about Purchasing as a Service
What makes you unique within this field?
We have a well-developed methodology and tools for this type of work. All of our staff are trained in our methodology, which has been developed and refined over more than 10 years. We manage many projects within indirect categories each year. This creates economies of scale and has allowed us to build a solid expertise within each category.
Is there any risk of us losing control or of you drafting cheap contracts that do not suit us?
No, this is not something you need to worry about. All processes that we manage are firmly controlled within your organisation and you still make all the important decisions. In addition, a large part of our remuneration can be conditional on realised improvements, which means that the most important factor for us is that the solutions we propose are actually used.
What can you promise us?
A quick transition from reactive to proactive purchasing and a ROI of 3–5 times your investment.
How much do I as a customer have to get involved in the day-to-day work?
We work independently so that you only need to brief us on your needs and decide on which solutions are to be implemented.
How can you achieve change when you, as consultants, are not part of our organization?
We will have a long-term presence with your organization to ensure that the savings we have identified and implemented are also realised.
What else can I expect?
We leave behind a very good structure and follow-up on your supplier contracts.
