Three steps to long-term success

Purchasing Directions is not just about purchasing. We can help you realise genuine, long-term success with a three-step process.

• We help our clients to identify opportunities and develop their purchasing function with the use of a proven methodology. We highlight areas for improvement and in partnership with our clients, we create a procurement vision producing a realistic action plan for the goals to be realised.


• We work closely with our clients throughout the implementation and take responsibility for the actions that we recommend. If you don’t gain, neither do we. Our proven experience and expertise ensures we create and add value to our client organisations. We put proper processes and technologies in place


• After improvement and implementation efforts, we assist our clients in the challenge to retain and further develop the results achieved. A framework for continuous improvement ensures long-term sustainable effects and our Support and Training services are focused on delivering structures for both measurement and control.

Testimonials

Our unique commercial model

We put our money where our mouth is. We charge 50% of the savings we generate for our clients during the 'relevant period' (usually the first year following delivery of our results).

Our services are therefore fully self-financing and do not need a budget in the way that most investment does. Hence, our interests and our client's interests are perfectly aligned. We succeed and grow together.
