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.

-45 k€ costs / 6 months
+30% revenue in 3 years
+40% revenue and back to profitability

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.

Rail maintenance division – International industrial group

Turnaround of an unprofitable division.

Initial problem

  • Unprofitable division and financial losses.
  • Production inefficiencies and high downtime.
  • Compliance and legal risks.

Key actions

  • Purchasing restructuring (cost analysis, pricing).
  • Framework contracts to secure supplies.
  • Production optimization (reduced downtime).
  • Process and systems compliance.

Impact & results

Revenue

+40%

growth for the division

Profitability

Restored

Back to financial breakeven

Compliance

100%

Legal risks controlled

“A coherent adjustment of prices, contracts and working methods can transform an unprofitable division into a performing activity.”

Industrial SME – Electrical infrastructure equipment

Structuring growth and digitalizing flows.

Initial problem

  • Lack of structure and informal purchasing processes.
  • High inventory risks and stockouts.
  • Limited visibility on suppliers and orders.

Key actions

  • Optimization of inventory (min/max, coverage).
  • Implementation of modern purchasing processes.
  • ERP digitalization to steer flows.
  • Supplier panel rationalization.

Impact & results

Growth

+30%

revenue in 3 years

Flows

Reliable

Fewer entry/order errors

“The combination of digitalization + purchasing process structuring creates a sustainable leverage effect on revenue.”

Industrial Mid-Cap – Custom harnesses & cables

Purchasing optimization and logistics costs (multi-sector perimeter).

Initial problem

  • Critical supplier shortages.
  • Unreliable purchasing processes.
  • Sharply rising transport costs.

Key actions

  • ERP purchasing module optimization.
  • Implementation of rolling forecasts.
  • Logistics diversification and negotiation.
  • Supplier scorecard and review.

Impact & results

Savings

-45k€

logistics costs / 6 months

Shortages

-40%

critical shortages (targeted)

OTD

+20%

customer performance improvement

“More structured purchasing and fine-tuned flow steering can generate rapid gains without degrading service.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about results

How do you guarantee the reliability of the announced results?

The figures come directly from your ERP/BI data and financial reporting. They are always validated in review with general or financial management. I prefer caution to overselling.

Are the gains auditable by our financial teams?

Yes, it is even recommended. I build calculation models with your assumptions and provide details of the levers activated. Calculation methods are documented.

How long does it generally take to see the first results?

First signals (organization, clarity, visibility) often appear in a few weeks. Significant financial gains (cost reductions, cash) generally materialize in a few months depending on your activity cycle.

Are these approaches transferable to other sites or subsidiaries?

Absolutely. The method is designed to be reusable. We then adapt the parameters (specific flows, local suppliers, ERP) site by site.

Do you intervene on the entire Purchasing/Supply Chain chain or on a targeted perimeter?

It is modular. I can deal with a limited scope (a purchasing family, a critical site) or intervene on a global scope (group strategy), depending on your challenges and priorities.
