Transformation

purchasing organisation

An effective purchasing department protects margins, ensures continuity of supply and builds a company's technological edge. Especially in highly innovative industries. We ensure the security and competitiveness of our business partners' supply chain.

Benefits

Operational and administrative savings

An efficient purchasing department means even 40% shorter lead times for purchasing processes. Shorter time translates into measurable financial savings and more efficient use of available resources.

Financial savings

We have even achieved 20% lower purchasing costs for CAPEX investments. Analysing and optimising how company money is spent allows us to spend company money more effectively, and purchasing leverage translates directly into margin growth.

Reorganisation, standardisation and automation of processes

Purchasing processes can be cumbersome and incomprehensible for organisations. The right approach can reduce the number of steps in the purchasing process by up to 50%, and by implementing IT/AI tools, employees can focus on generating added value.

Risk management

Ensuring business continuity is one of the biggest business challenges. The costs associated with damages or downtime can reach up to millions of euros per day. We support customers in identifying risks and resolving problems in supply chains.

Strategic purchasing management

A firefighting type of action, creates the risk that the fire will reappear. We help organisations move from reactive to proactive purchasing management. We implement strategic purchasing category management models for short-term and long-term benefits.

Professionalisation of purchasing staff

Even the best-designed processes and strategies will not work without competent people. We train and support buyers and purchasing leaders in Europe, Asia and North America. We help them to operate confidently and effectively in an environment of cost pressure, risk and global supplier collaboration.

HOW

we support the transformation of purchasing organisations

As part of our support, we will analyse and improve your business in the following areas:

EXAMPLE

Forms of support

Purchasing department operating model

There is no one model that fits every company. The purchasing function can be administrative, strategic or a hybrid. By analysing the scale of the business, the business expectations and the specifics of the company, we match the model to the specific needs. Analysis and recommendations include the following:

Analysis of the management's expectations of the purchasing department
Analysis of current procedures from demand generation to payment
Preparation of organisational structure and reporting lines
Implementation of stable processes, procedures, a model for effective task implementation
Ensure consistency between the company's strategy and the objectives of the purchasing department

Digitalisation of the purchasing department

Digitisation does not solve problems with chaotic processes - Digitisation of processes will only work if the processes are ready for it. As part of our support we provide:

Digital and automation readiness audit
Improvement of areas requiring adjustment
We will identify areas for possible automation based on return on investment (ROI)
We recommend the optimal tools for your business

Management by indicators and metering

In many companies, the purchasing department claims to be realising hard savings, while at the same time CFOs spread their arms and complain that they do not see them in the P&L, balance sheet or cash flow statement. The key to assessing the effectiveness of the purchasing department is proper measurement and comparison to best practice. We implement solutions that undermine on:

Analysis of the operating costs of the purchasing department
Measurement through indicators (KPIs)
Monitoring of cost and lead time of orders
Evaluation of the effectiveness of the purchasing strategy
Counting and reporting savings

Implementation of a strategic purchasing management model

The purchasing department can be responsible for as much as 80% of cost of sales (KWS/COGS), has a direct impact on profit and the achievement of the company's strategic goals. In order to perform its tasks effectively, it needs to be a partner and not an order taker. We implement a model of strategic purchasing management which allows us to reduce costs and build secure relationships with suppliers. Our support includes

Analysis of expenditure and search for savings
Consolidation within purchasing categories, management of expenditure on an annual basis
Recommend contracting methods that best safeguard the company's interests
Analysis and elimination of risks, e.g. through contractual provisions and supplier diversification
Implementation of performance indicators (KPIs)
Reducing dependence on monopoly suppliers
Development of purchasing strategies

Effectiveness

An effective purchasing department is a real influence on a company's bottom line, operational continuity and competitive advantage.

At Eveneum, we support the end-to-end transformation of purchasing organisations: we simplify processes and help them achieve measurable results. We help companies move from „firefighting” to proactive, strategic management of purchasing and supplier relationships.

Our consultancy is also thoughtfully developing the competencies of purchasing teams as an essential factor in achieving sustainable, positive change. This makes purchasing a business partner that understands business needs, consciously manages costs and provides stability and business security.
