Get to know usOptimization of the procurement strategy
COMPO, a leading supplier of biochemical household and garden products, achieved significant savings as part of a targeted procurement optimization. A comprehensive analysis and strategic measures enabled the efficient bundling of procurement volumes and a sustainable reduction in costs.
COMPO GmbH, headquartered in Münster, Germany, is a leading supplier of products for home and garden, specializing in plant care and sustainable garden solutions. Since its foundation in 1956, COMPO has been offering high-quality fertilizers, plant protection products, soils and lawn seeds for hobby gardeners and professional users. With a focus on innovation and environmental awareness, the company develops environmentally friendly products, such as peat-free soils, and relies on sustainable production processes. As part of the international Kingenta Group, COMPO is active in over 100 countries and stands for quality and trust in horticulture.
The challenge
COMPO’s procurement volume was fragmented, which led to a large number of suppliers and inefficient procurement processes. This made the strategic management of procurement more difficult and prevented the optimal use of price and process cost effects. The aim was to consolidate the procurement volume, identify cost levers and enable sustainable optimization of the procurement organization.
