How to get the right purchasing power when you need it
Candidates who already master your categories
Whether it's vehicles, FMCG, or complex project procurement, we filter our network of 8,000 quality-assured consultants by industry, ERP system, and international contract formats. This way, you get people who already know the terminology, supplier landscapes, and legal ground rules before the first meeting is even over.
Transparent 80/20 model from the very first quote
We don't have any hidden fees. 80% of the fee goes to the consultant, and 20% to us. This split gives you clear budget control and makes it easy to compare the total cost with in-house solutions. Billing only starts once the right person is in place.
Your personal partner all the way
You'll have the same contact person throughout the entire process, from needs analysis to contract signing. We're available evenings and weekends until the consultant is settled in and delivering. After that, we follow up monthly to make sure your goals are being met.

The benefits of a purchasing consultant
Faster savings and better cash flow
The consultant maps out your total spend, identifies quick wins, and provides the board or management with a clear savings plan. By renegotiating volume agreements and using smarter Incoterms, capital is freed up that can be reinvested into your core business.
Reduced delivery risk in shaky times
An interim purchasing manager reviews single-source dependencies, finds alternative suppliers, and builds more robust inventory strategies. This reduces the risk of production stoppages and ensures higher delivery precision to customers, even when global supply chains are unstable.
Data-driven purchasing that stays with you after the assignment
The consultant establishes KPIs for savings, delivery precision, and CSR follow-up. Reports are integrated into existing BI tools so that your purchasing team can continue to work with data-driven insights even after the assignment is complete.
The recruitment process
Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.
What makes a good interim purchasing manager stand out
Negotiation pros with international reach
Our consultants are used to handling everything from Asian electronics production to European framework agreements for indirect materials. They speak the supplier's language, both literally and in business terms, which leads to faster deals and better conditions.
Structured change leaders
A strong purchasing function needs standardized processes. The consultant documents workflows, implements category management, and coaches internal employees in best-practice methodology. The result is a team that continues to deliver even after the consultant has left.
Business-oriented communicator
Purchasing impacts everyone from R&D to customer service. The interim consultant translates cost analysis into clear arguments that get management, production, and marketing all working towards the same goal. This reduces internal friction and boosts the effect of every krona spent.
