Pharma: Your Procurement – The Competition Begins in Procurement
The challenges in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries have been increasing for years due to rising cost pressures and shrinking margins. The high dynamism in this highly competitive and acquisition-driven international market arises primarily from increasing demands as a result of government regulations and intensified competition, for example, through public health insurance tenders.
We understand the difficult market conditions, products, and the challenges faced by supply chains and buyers. Benefit from our extensive experience in projects with research-based companies and generic manufacturers to secure profit margins.
Healthcare: Your Purchase – For the Benefit of Patients and Growth
Healthcare is currently one of Germany's most important economic sectors. However, even though the industry has been growing for years with ever-increasing healthcare expenditure, almost every second German hospital is permanently generating negative results. The proportion of material resources, as the second-largest cost block in hospitals, plays a significant role in this. In this area in particular, there are considerable savings potentials, for example, through a targeted reduction in product variety in coordination with doctors and nurses, as well as optimised Ordering processes to let it rest.
