FAQ

Common questions

Como Procurement Process se aplica ao meu programa de compras?

Adaptamos a estrutura ao seu volume anual, número de fornecedores, mercados de origem e Incoterms preferidos. A primeira reunião define KPIs, cronograma e fornecedores-alvo.

Quanto tempo até ver economia com esta abordagem?

Os primeiros benchmarks surgem em 2–3 semanas; economias contratuais sustentáveis costumam se consolidar entre o T1 e o T2 após adotar um RFQ estruturado.

Como se garantem qualidade e rastreabilidade?

Exigimos GMP+/FAMI-QS, COA por lote, controle de micotoxinas e auditoria documental antes de homologar qualquer fornecedor.

Oferecem apoio em financiamento e Incoterms?

Sim — LC, seguro de crédito, ECA e estruturação CIF/CFR/DAP conforme o destino, sujeito a aprovação de bancos e seguradoras.
