Procurement consulting & supply chain management: expert solutions for your procurement strategy

Comprehensive optimisation in procurement management

In today's business world, agile and efficient procurement management is crucial to a company's success. H&Z Unternehmensberatung offers a holistic view and optimisation of your purchasing strategies in order to not only reduce costs, but also to increase the efficiency of your supply chain.

Development of effective procurement strategies

Our approach to developing effective procurement strategies begins with a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of your current purchasing processes. This first step is critical to gaining a clear understanding of the strengths, weaknesses and potential areas for improvement within your existing processes. We use advanced analytical methods to uncover not only obvious problems, but also hidden inefficiencies that can unnecessarily drive up your purchasing costs. 

Once we have a detailed picture of your current procurement situation, we start to identify key areas where improvements are possible and necessary. This can range from optimising your supplier relationships to implementing advanced technologies that automate and simplify your procurement processes. Our aim is to develop customised procurement strategies that are perfectly tailored to your organisation's specific needs and objectives. We understand that every organisation is unique and that's why we don't offer off-the-shelf solutions, but customised strategies that deliver real results.

Advantages and disadvantages of different procurement approaches

Each procurement approach has its own pros and cons. We help you find the right balance between different methods, whether through centralised procurement to achieve economies of scale or decentralised approaches for more flexibility and local customisation. Our aim is to develop a procurement strategy that is not only cost-efficient, but also promotes quality and innovation.

Digital procurement: the future of procurement

Digitalisation has revolutionised procurement. We implement advanced digital procurement tools and systems that make your processes more efficient and transparent. From automated ordering systems to advanced analytics tools, we use the latest technologies to optimise your procurement processes and give you a competitive advantage. 

Supply Chain Management: Seamless integration and efficiency

At H&Z, we see supply chain management (SCM) as an essential part of your overall corporate strategy. Our integrated approach aims to treat your supply chain not as an isolated element, but as a central link in your business model. We recognise that an efficient and well-coordinated supply chain is critical to the success and competitiveness of your business.

Holistic view of the supply chain

Our approach starts with a holistic view of your supply chain. We analyse every step - from the procurement of raw materials to production and delivery to the end customer. In doing so, we identify critical interfaces and potential weak points that could impair the efficiency and effectiveness of your supply chain. Our aim is to achieve seamless integration of all processes in order to minimise delays, reduce costs and increase customer satisfaction. 

Adapting to market changes

In today's fast-paced business world, the ability to adapt quickly to market changes is critical. We help you build a flexible and responsive supply chain that is able to react efficiently to unpredictable events such as fluctuations in demand, supply shortages or geopolitical changes. By implementing agile practices and utilising advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning, we can make your supply chain more resilient and adaptable.

Partnership and collaboration

An effective supply chain requires close collaboration between all stakeholders - from suppliers to manufacturers to distributors. We foster a culture of partnership and collaboration in your supply chain to create synergies and achieve common goals. By strengthening relationships with your partners, we can improve the overall performance of your supply chain and create real value for your organisation.
