Case: Purchasing management
Context. Our client, a health and
beauty care retailer, had introduced every-day-low-pricing. In
order to support this new pricing strategy, our client needed to
rapidly obtain the commercial backing of its main suppliers
through a fundamental review of trade terms.
Mission. We were asked to develop
and execute a pragmatic purchasing approach to obtain the best
possible terms from suppliers based on a combination of
consumer-centric and profit driven analysis.
Results. Our structured approach
to the purchasing analysis, negotiation preparation, tactics and
execution enabled our client to reduce his COGS by on average 2,4%
of sales for the categories involved.
