Our beliefs
Buying performance is a powerful means of creating value. The company's overall performance is aided by the combination of Supply Management and a category-based approach.
The purchasing strategy must accommodate each brand's differentiation policy. On the one hand, through the supply of innovative, safe and ethical products, and on the other hand, through the need to work with reliable suppliers to always keep the client's promise.
We also need to have a "product"expertise to organize a coherent offer with national brands, private labels, second-hand products, local products and proposals marketplace. But we also need to integrate the evolution of distribution flows, from dropshipping to marketplace.
The purchasing performance is crucial because it takes into account a demanding, well-informed consumer who compares all the players around him.
Our
expertise
Our approach is 360°, with a focus on mastering purchasing processes specific to the retail sector and understanding the entire purchasing environment.At the sector level, we are particularly focused on direct purchasing as we believe it is a pillar of the retail business. In the purchasing environment, we examine category management, sourcing, negotiation, procurement, performance measurement, sales of services and data, contractualization, and management. Our knowledge extends to the digitization and automation of purchasing processes in retail information systems, working with all stakeholders in the purchasing ecosystem.
We consider all the sales channels available to the consumer, and in particular, the use of marketplaces, which influence retailers' product portfolios and alter retail purchasing processes.Integrating responsible purchasing and creating value for the distributor is achieved by creating, collaborating, and communicating with suppliers to meet consumer demand.
