Focus
For companies that want to strengthen procurement strategically.
Many organisations have grown supplier structures, complex categories and unused potential. Puras helps companies manage procurement strategically instead of merely administering it operationally.
Strategic Procurement Consulting
Development of procurement, supplier and category strategies considering cost, quality, technology, delivery performance and risk.
Interim Leadership & Interim Services

Cost Optimisation
Identification, realisation and tracking of savings potential through market analysis, supplier comparisons, negotiations and action planning.
Procurement Processes & Steering
Clear roles, interfaces, approvals, savings tracking and decision processes for strategically steerable procurement.
Positioning
Strategic steering instead of operational processing.
Puras Consulting focuses on strategic procurement leadership, supplier management, negotiations and category management. Operational understanding and a supply-chain perspective are included — while the focus remains on structure, steering and improved outcomes.
Clarity across categories, suppliers, risks and cost levers.
Preparation, execution and follow-up of price, volume and contract negotiations.
Measures are not only recommended, but prioritised and made steerable.
Clear workflows between procurement, development, quality, supply chain, controlling and management.
Typical situations
When Puras supports companies.
External strategic procurement expertise is particularly valuable when decisions need preparation, supplier structures need professionalisation or savings potential needs to be systematically realised.
Unused savings potential
Potential exists, but it is not transparent, prioritised or consistently tracked.
Complex supplier structures
Historically grown supplier pools need to be assessed, consolidated or strategically developed.
Strategic vacancy
A key strategic procurement role is temporarily vacant or requires additional leadership capacity.
Demanding negotiations
Price, volume or contract negotiations need to be prepared structurally and conducted with clear objectives.
Risk management
Single-source risks, volatile markets or critical supplier relationships require clear alternatives.
NPD & CPD projects
Development and customer-specific parts require early procurement involvement and technical supplier alignment.
Unclear procurement processes
Approvals, roles, interfaces or savings tracking are not clearly defined and need to become strategically steerable.
Approach
Discreet, structured and impact-oriented.
Each engagement starts with a compact assessment. From there, Puras develops prioritised measures, reliable decision bases and implementation that fits the organisation.
Analysis
Understand the current situation, categories, supplier structure, cost base and risks.
Strategy
Define action fields, priorities, supplier approaches and negotiation logic.
Steering
Support implementation, track results and prepare decisions cleanly.
Target groups
For managing directors, procurement leaders and COOs.
Puras works with medium-sized companies and corporations that want to strengthen strategic procurement in the DACH region. International experience also allows European and global supplier structures to be considered.
