Procurement

Cost avoidance is one of the key topics when it comes to new products. But all too often this topic is neglected because either the timeline is pressing and/or the necessary know-how on how to tackle it is not available. This usually results in excessive development budgets as well as overpriced manufacturing and logistics costs, which can only be saved later with a great deal of effort – if at all. This is exactly where Harvest CRD comes in: Together with your team and our expertise in the areas of product engineering / product design and manufacturing engineering, we can identify and avoid «unnecessary» development and product costs in the early project phases by taking into consideration a wide variety of manufacturing technologies and supply chain solutions.

Many companies are increasingly feeling the pressure to set up their procurement processes strategically and efficiently. However, there is often a lack of relevant know-how here as well. That means many CPOs and their staff are overworked and overwhelmed trying to sustain innovative strategies in an ever-changing marketplace. Supplier management is often completely overlooked, and its importance ignored in favor of short-term, profitable measures. We will be happy to help you in terms of BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) and help you to set up a sustainable and resource-saving supplier network.

We would also be happy to take on complex procurement projects for you, conduct negotiations or define new purchasing strategies and implement them with you.
