At C.R. Technology Systems, supplier selection is a central aspect of our operations. The purchasing department, together with our technical teams, selects suppliers not only based on traditional criteria such as reliability and cost-effectiveness—which allow us to offer competitive solutions to our clients—but also considering their commitment to Quality, Environment, and Safety standards.
Another essential element is the long-lasting relationship with our suppliers. These relationships often enable faster processes, synergistic collaboration, and more effective problem-solving.
In a medium-size company, the value of purchases represents between 40% and 70% of the total turnover. Therefore, optimizing procurement leads to reduced variable costs and overhead expenses, increasing the company’s profit without altering its business volume.
For this reason, at C.R. Technology Systems we place great importance on maintaining and continuously improving supplier evaluation processes. This strategic element allows us to assess performance against the agreed product and service standards.
The Purchasing Department is tasked with defining procurement methods within the required timeframes and available resources, in coordination with all company departments. Additionally, it promotes strategic partnerships, anticipates market trends, and ensures cost-effective purchasing within the allocated budget, timeline, and quality requirements.
In our company, we have a highly organized structure, supported by software, enabling us to monitor purchases and compare proposals from various suppliers. This ensures that we select suppliers who not only meet our needs but also contribute tangible value to our operations and clients.
Sustainability also plays an important role in the choice of suppliers. Our solutions must guarantee the client a sustainable and high-quality supply chain, aligning with our values and ensuring that product and service standards meet ethical and environmental goals.
In our commitment to ensuring maximum quality and reliability, we adhere to predefined standards guiding supplier selection, whether they are manufacturers, service providers, or consultants. Every year, we establish and carefully monitor specific KPIs to ensure that our partnerships reflect our values and meet the highest requirements for efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.
