For decades, the observation with each call for tenders has been the same: a regular increase in prices and a scarcity of offers from potential providers: the circle is vicious, suppliers imagine that you do not want to make any change.

By anticipating the purchasing process, revising the specifications and communicating differently with potential new suppliers, we have created new market conditions:

This resulted in savings of over 10%, obtained without affecting the quality of service.

Many salespeople, collaborators, solicited the purchasing departments by email to obtain price estimates; the requests were very similar, and often incomplete.

Without using complex tools on which there is little visibility, collaborative tools have been created to make requests more reliable and accelerate their processes.

AKEOL supports you in creating these tailor-made tools which can find applications in quality systems, purchasing, etc.

The company outsourced its conditioning and packaging operations to an external service provider, the quality was there.
But for one of the recipient customers, specific packaging of one of the products is required and the cost much higher: The organization mode suffers above all from little flexibility in terms of planning.

By outsourcing this specific packaging to another provider, far away, but located close to the customer, planning flexibility has been significantly increased, while reducing the cost by more than 20%.

The product, delivered in a liquid bulk tank, was very sensitive to temperature variations and deliveries to the end customer were complicated because they were too viscous. In addition, the logistics costs were very high.
