Purchasing in the service of profit
The market for services has changed rapidly: high transparency, immense and price-driven predatory competition and the short-lived nature of competitive advantages. Purchasing these intangible services can hardly be distinguished from purchasing industrial or tangible products. Long-term customer relationships are jeopardized by instruments such as e-procurement, regular invitations to tender, etc. In addition, purchasing is not always organized centrally in many service companies; rather, the purchasing process is typically the responsibility of the specialist departments. However, cross-departmental purchasing is very inefficient and cost-intensive. In addition to personnel costs, the cost structure itself is characterized by classic material and overhead costs (IT, marketing, energy, facility, etc.). According to the experience of the Kloepfel industry team, the savings potential for service providers is up to 20%. By systematically optimizing these costs, Kloepfel Consulting provides you with sustainable profitability advantages!
