SynerDeal at the heart of Change Management in Purchasing.

SynerDeal, Europe’s leading Purchasing Agency, offers to help companies change manage their Purchasing requirements through the widespread adoption of standard tools.

Purchasing Departments must nowadays adapt to new working methods so as to meet new challenges: ever-shorter negotiation cycles, the increasing importance of low cost countries as suppliers, the increase in collaborative work practices, etc.
By enabling buyers to structure their approach and by conveying a set of Purchasing best practices, SynerDeal’s eSourcing platform (SynerTools) is an outstanding tool for transforming and enhancing Purchasing methods. In other words, its vocation lies at the heart of Change Management in Purchasing.
SynerDeal has developed a comprehensive programme to spread eSourcing methods within organisations.
SynerDeal’s approach involves defining quantifiable targets upstream and subsequently feeding them through the various strata of the organisation, so as to end up with a company-wide “progress plan”.
The second stage involves training campaigns (adapted to each of the targeted Purchasing populations) so as to ensure that the eSourcing methods and tools are properly internalised.
SynerDeal provides personalised coaching on-site to assist buyers in applying Purchasing methods and best practices: systematic use of cost breakdown tables, equalised comparative assessments of supplier offers, grouping of Purchases, collaborative working practises, capitalising on know-how, etc.
SynerDeal’s buying expertise and outstanding grasp of the stakes at hand make it an ideal partner for any company which is keen to exploit its Purchasing potential.

François-Xavier Collineau (a graduate of France’s Sciences Po and ESCP academies), Directeur of eSourcing Services at SynerDeal, can call on a team of 10 consultants of multicultural origin with outstanding skills in such fields as Purchasing, Change Management and Training, to carry off any Purchasing Change Management assignments which are entrusted to SynerDeal.
