Those who do not honor the purchase are not worth the profit
In the tough price war, purchasing is the value creator in retail - whether in traditional retail, mail order, e-commerce, wholesale or technical retail. Studies and experience have shown that purchasing tools effectively reduce purchasing costs and thus significantly increase profit margins, but are often used far too little or not consistently enough due to time constraints. Our retail team, with experience from a wide range of retail sectors, strengthens your purchasing department and works with you to implement pragmatic solutions for all purchasing-related challenges: From category management to annual meetings and supply chain optimization to the reduction of indirect spend. During a project, we work with you to unearth undiscovered treasures in purchasing in order to sustainably increase your company's results.

Satisfied customers
"In an impressive manner, your team of consultants presented the first, very good results within just a few days."
"The consultants stationed with us for the duration of the project fitted into the existing procurement team and were never perceived as a foreign body or even competition. The provision of our internal resources was also kept within limits."
"Despite the sometimes difficult framework conditions due to the necessary change processes at Pelikan, the first sustainable savings were achieved after a short time."
"We were impressed by the fact that the implementation of the potentials always had an immediate impact on EBIT, as the conditions with existing suppliers were often improved. In some cases, savings of over 30% were achieved, which increased the importance of purchasing in our company - across all departments. During your work, you made only minimal use of our internal resources."
