What (hidden) strengths can be explored within your purchasing department?
Faced with the litany of cost reductions inherent in any purchasing department, today’s solutions have evolved considerably while tomorrow’s are yet to be devised.
Pressure on purchase prices is giving way to the digitisation of processes, business partnerships, rationalisation and monitoring of suppliers, and optimisation of the supply chain.
Strategic and operational purchasing according to Scalian
A purchasing team that can leverage any opportunity
In our outsourced service centre, we see purchasing as a lever to increase economic performance and a real opportunity to deliver better products and services.
Scalian’s purchasing community is able to capitalise on methodologies, increase skills and share best practices within client projects.
The other key issue now in the purchasing strategy is taking account of the environmental and societal impact.
