Concrete results.Measurable, repeatable, sustainable.
I support industrial SMEs and mid-size companies in reducing costs, stabilising flows and modernising their Purchasing & Supply Chain processes. Here are three representative engagements showing a clear link between initial issues, actions taken and measured impact.
The figures shown come from ERP data and internal reporting, validated with general management or finance departments.
Three engagements to illustrate results
Contexts vary (SME, mid-cap, division of an international group), but the logic remains the same: clarify the problem, structure actions, steer results and ensure purchasing performance.

How I measure the success of an engagement
Beyond immediate savings, I look at operational stability and the long-term autonomy of your teams.
Understand how these results are achieved →Financial Impact
TCO, generated savings, margin improvement, reduction of cash tied up in inventory. Gains are calculated with your financial assumptions.
Operational Impact
Reduction of stockouts, reliability of announced deadlines, simplification of physical flows. The goal is to make your daily operations smoother.
Organizational Impact
Increased visibility, quality of tools (ERP, reporting), team autonomy and role clarity to sustain results over time.
