Purchasing optimization construction industry
The risk of insolvency is significantly higher in the construction industry than in other sectors. With a return on sales of between 1% and 4%, construction companies generate the lowest returns of all those involved in construction. This is due to strong price competition, which is exacerbated by the need to utilize employees and machines. Many therefore focus too much on new orders and too little on increasing profit margins by optimizing costing and purchasing.
Targeted implementation of purchasing optimization in the construction industry
The most important measures of purchasing optimization during a Kloepfel project by our experienced construction team to sustainably increase your company's results include Reduction of all direct material costs, improvement of payment terms, reduction of material and overhead costs, improvement of supply security, formation of purchasing cooperations as well as the reduction of expensive cross-departmental purchasing (maverick buying) through centralization, for example.
