Those who do not honour the purchase are not worthy of the profit.
In the fierce price war, purchasing is the value creator in retail – whether in classic retail, mail order, e-commerce, wholesale, or technical wholesale. Through studies and experience, we have found that purchasing tools effectively reduce purchasing costs and thus significantly increase profit margins, yet they are often used too little or not consistently enough due to time constraints. Our retail team, with experience from various forms of retail, strengthens your purchasing and implements pragmatic solutions with you for all purchasing-related challenges: from category management and annual negotiations to supply chain optimisation and the reduction of Indirect Spend. So, during a project, we will unearth hidden profit potential in procurement together with you, to sustainably enhance your company's earnings.

Satisfied customers
„Their consulting team impressively presented initial, very good results within just a few days.“
„The consultants stationed with us during the project duration integrated seamlessly into the existing procurement team and were never perceived as outsiders or even as competition. Furthermore, the deployment of our internal resources was kept to a minimum.“
„Despite the partly difficult framework conditions due to the necessary change processes within Pelikan, initial savings could be sustainably implemented after a short period.“
„It convinced us that in implementing the potential, immediate EBIT effectiveness was always achieved, as conditions with existing suppliers were often improved. In some cases, savings of over 30% were implemented, thereby increasing the importance of purchasing within our company – across departments. During your tenure, you made only a small demand on our internal resources.“
