FAQ: Key questions on cost optimisation in procurement
How quickly can initial savings be realised?
Following an initial potential analysis (approx. 2–4 weeks), we will immediately commence the negotiation and implementation phase. The first P&L-effective results are usually visible in the cash flow after three to six months.
Do the measures only concern supplier prices?
No. Effective cost optimisation in procurement also includes demand aggregation, demand management, specification optimisation, and the streamlining of purchasing processes (e-procurement).
Does cost optimisation still work in times of raw material shortages?
In volatile markets especially, it is essential. We focus on risk management, alternative sourcing strategies and value engineering here to reduce dependencies and keep costs stable despite market pressure.
What effort is involved for my own purchasing department?
Our aim is to relieve your team of its workload. We act as an extended workbench, taking on data preparation and negotiation management, and bringing in best-practice know-how that will be directly transferred to your employees.
How is the success of cost optimisation measured?
We use a transparent reporting system that verifies the achieved savings against a validated baseline (historical prices or market indices). This ensures that every euro saved is traceable for your controlling department.
