When multiple suppliers aren't the answer

A familiar challenge with a new perspective

When it comes to strengthening security of supply, many point to one classic solution: more suppliers. This may be necessary in certain cases, but it often leads to increased complexity, more administration and lower transparency.

In practice, it is not the number of suppliers that creates security. It is the collaboration and the system built around it.

More flexibility - not more noise

At Procudan, we work with a concept we call Single Point Sourcing (SPS). This means that we cover you with multiple options through one single partnership. You gain flexibility, contingency and access to alternative solutions - without losing control.

This requires trust – and it requires openness

In order for us to support your business in the best possible way, we need to understand it in depth. We need to know the requirements for your products, value chain and customers. When you trust us to get closer, we can work together to create a solution that not only covers your needs but also drives progress.

Proven model with tangible benefits

Several of our customers are currently working with a customised SPS model. It is not an off-the-shelf product, but a solution built on mutual understanding and shared responsibility. Examples include:

• Toms Group gathered over 50 ingredients from us to create an overview and reduce complexity in sourcing and quality.
• Scandinavian Tobacco Group chose a flexible collaboration where we support both daily supply and contingency for selected products.

Common to both is that the solution is based on trust, insight and mutual adaptation.

Collaboration requires joint commitment

Strong collaboration is not only based on deliveries and systems. It is based on relationships where you understand each other's frameworks, business and priorities.

That is why collaboration starts with in-depth dialogue. We ask questions. We listen. We connect with your internal structures, so that we can think together with you and not just deliver to you.

When we work so closely together, we become more than just a supplier with alternatives. We become an active part of your supply chain.

Partnership begins with trust

At Procudan, we collaborate with companies that want more stability and fewer disruptions in their supply chain – without compromising on documentation, quality or flexibility.

We have a broad network and strong expertise at our disposal. And we know that it works best when both parties are willing to invest in the collaboration.
