Improve your profitability by partnering with TDG
Procurement expertise to lower operating costs
As a TDG customer you’ll not only benefit from the best logistics, transport, distribution and warehousing solutions, our Procurement department can also work with you to optimise commercial leverage and lower your costs of ownership. TDG’s dedicated team of procurement experts collaborate with our customers to strategically enhance both parties’ procurement operations in order to increase profitability.
Through bringing together our corporate strengths and identifying areas where we can co-purchase with our customers, we can negotiate better payment terms, improved service levels and generate reductions in cost, inventory, volume and cycle time.
Our Procurement process is tried and tested to deliver results. ‘TDG Logic First’ is our very own standardised 3-step sourcing methodology. It focuses heavily on stakeholder management and communication to ensure there is agreement within the Core Team and other stakeholders involved. This collaborative approach is essential to reducing the barriers that oppose positive change and to enable a smooth and successful procurement process.
‘TDG Logic First’ can be applied to any spend category, including transport, communications, fuel, property and IT to name a few. It systematically identifies opportunities for cost savings that won’t compromise quality, and ensures the journey to realising these savings follows best practice. Finally, it provides for accountability and transparency, measuring the cost savings achieved over time.
Our procurement team has a wealth of expertise and negotiating experience; we can handle supplier negotiations and tender processes on behalf of our customers or in partnership with you.
