FAQ

Common questions

Comment Buyer Checklist s’applique-t-il à mon programme d’achats ?

Nous adaptons le cadre à votre volume annuel, au nombre de fournisseurs, aux marchés d’origine et aux Incoterms préférés. La première réunion définit les KPI, le calendrier et les fournisseurs cibles.

Combien de temps avant de constater des économies ?

Les premiers benchmarks arrivent en 2–3 semaines ; les économies contractuelles pérennes se consolident généralement entre le T1 et le T2 après adoption d’une RFQ structurée.

Comment garantissez-vous qualité et traçabilité ?

Nous exigeons GMP+/FAMI-QS, un COA par lot, un contrôle mycotoxines et un audit documentaire avant d’homologuer tout fournisseur.

Accompagnez-vous le financement et les Incoterms ?

Oui — LC, assurance-crédit, ECA et structuration CIF/CFR/DAP selon la destination, sous réserve d’approbation des banques et assureurs.
