Expert Consultancy in Procurement and Supply Chain Management

Thanks to the consultants' swift and practical approach combined with their industry-specific expertise, we achieved significant in-year impacts through technical measures, even though the project began within the current financial year—surpassing the prior year's results many times over. This success was made possible by the rapid development and assessment of innovative ideas, diligent follow-through on initiatives, and a strong emphasis on execution within the cross-functional team.

We initiated the joint project with KGM Strategy during a period of highly volatile markets and rising prices. Our primary aim was to enhance transparency around our cost structures and the pricing elements of individual purchasing items, with the ultimate goal of achieving better market pricing. Thanks to KGM Strategy’s expert guidance and close collaboration with our team, we successfully met most of our objectives and firmly embedded these improvements within the organization.

Through a cross-functional initiative, KGM Strategy enhanced the resilience of our semiconductor supply chain while significantly improving tactical collaboration between sales and procurement. Working closely with HELLA's top management, tailored programs were designed to address bottlenecks. In the face of dynamic procurement markets, these measures enable us to meet contractual obligations and elevate overall service quality.

KGM Strategy successfully supported the implementation of a global procurement program across EMEA, addressing a broad spectrum of indirect spend categories. KGM Strategy’s deep category expertise in Energy, Packaging, Logistics, Construction & Services, and MRO helped our teams to exceed their savings targets by a significant margin. One of the success factors was the great collaboration between KGM Strategy and our teams – results were delivered hand in hand in a collaborative and constructive way. In addition to delivering savings, KGM Strategy also helped accelerate the enablement agenda for our people. I would seek KGM Strategy's support again for any future procurement cost reduction and transformation projects.

KGM Strategy reviewed the taskforce's existing procurement process and ensured end-to-end compliance. By supporting the taskforce, for the procurement of semiconductors, KGM Strategy has contributed to Jungheinrich remaining capable of production, despite massive capacity bottlenecks in the semiconductor market. [...] A very good cooperation in an extremely difficult procurement environment.

In a very successful project, KGM Strategy supported us in not only achieving our savings targets in the period, but even exceeding them. With the help of extensive auctions, we were able to stimulate competition between our suppliers and succeeded in breaking up previous structures. We were also able to win over new suppliers and integrate them into our portfolio.

KGM Strategy succeeded in engaging critical stakeholders and generating significant value in our joint project. The use and introduction of innovative methods, such as e-auctions and index-based pricing models, made a decisive contribution to the project's success. In addition, KGM Strategy made a valuable contribution to sustainably developing procurement activities and setting up a centrally managed purchasing organization for the future.

KGM Strategy uses excellent consultants by the bank at Vaillant; your team works in a very structured and fact-oriented manner and has understood how to convince our organization of our project in a short time. I congratulate you on this team.

In an interactive sales training with a high degree of practical relevance, our sales staff learned how to approach negotiations like buyers. This change of perspective has decisively changed our sales negotiations. Thanks to KGM Strategy, our employees now feel better prepared and can draw on professional methods and tactics to achieve better negotiation results - a decisive step in the further development of our sales.

Our project with KGM Strategy has delivered a great result. In addition to the savings generated, which even exceeded the original project goal, our procurement organisation was professionalised and the procurement team trained. KGM Strategy always proceeded with the necessary pragmatism and sense of proportion; and that with the very highest quality of results.

KGM Strategy has helped D.O.R.C. with the professionalization of the procurement organization and accompanied the supplier negotiations for various products and services. By implementing new processes and working with procurement staff, the achieved savings enhance sustainability and will result in a more profitable organization.

KGM Strategy has proven to be a strong partner for KION in the implementation of procurement potentials!

KGM Strategy delivered a very good project and understood how to reconcile different interests. It was also about leaving the comfort zone. It was very helpful that our board strongly supported this project. Together we were able to exceed our savings targets and now feel equipped to face the challenges of our market.
