Quick access to purchasing consultants

EFFSO uses a combination of employed consultants and a consultancy network to always have the right people on hand. Make a request! There are no strings attached, and we promise to quickly get back to you with a proposal.

Our consultants have experience from line roles in various organisations, for example as category managers, strategic sourcing managers, supply chain managers, purchasing executives and procurement officers. Some of them also have prior experience working as management consultants. For us, the most important thing is for our consultants to share EFFSO’s values. They also have practical experience of purchasing and the ability, if needed, to build and develop different purchasing functions. This makes our consultants capable of quickly understanding the client’s operation and start working right away. We have everything from generalist purchasing consultants with broad skills to specialists in IT, public procurement or construction.

In order to offer you the right person with the right skills, we first find out as much as possible about the role in your organisation and then work quickly and efficiently to get a person on site in the shortest time possible.
