GRUPO HERDEZ
STRATEGIC SOURCING: DELIVERING FINANCIAL VALUE
Since implementing strategic sourcing practices, Grupo Herdez ®’ s procurement team has consistently delivered measurable financial benefits to the organisation’ s bottom line.
Javier explains:“ All the years we have been working with these processes, we have been able to make savings for the company – some years higher, some years lower, but always we make sure that we are doing the right things in order to reduce expenses or cost of sales.”
This consistent delivery of cost reductions has been instrumental in strengthening Grupo Herdez ®’ s competitive position in the market. Beyond direct price negotiations, the strategic sourcing function optimises the entire procurement lifecycle, from spend approval through to payment verification.
The supply chain team at Grupo Herdez ® also plays a crucial role in supporting internal stakeholders.
“ Reliable service means that I will give my users, my internal users, all the things they ask at the right time with the right price, with the right service in order for them to do their job,” notes Carnevali.
This dual focus – delivering value to the business while providing excellent service to internal customers – exemplifies the strategic contribution that modern procurement functions can make within forwardthinking organisations.
