Advanced Purchasing Dynamics

Founded in 2004, Advanced Purchasing Dynamics (APD) works to improve purchasing performance and save money with its best procurement practices. As its successes multiplied, it earned the reputation as The Purchasing Authority.

 

APD has helped manufacturers create competitive advantage through the application of knowledge-based cost management. It uses proven cost engineering approaches, combined with extensive industry application experience, to help companies achieve lower costs while building stronger supplier relationships. Clients routinely achieve 8-18 percent savings on direct material purchases with project ROIs that return 5 to 15X consulting fees in first year’s savings. APD helps companies by:

• Implementing projects that improve the bottom line, including predictive pricing models, savings roadmaps and strategic sourcing implementations

• Unlocking savings with big data analytics for purchasing, including knowledge-based cost management software and services

• Enhancing the capabilities of their purchasing team through placement and buyer skill development training

 

ADP works with companies globally, meeting frequently with leadership teams and buyers in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. From Tier-3 suppliers looking to improve cost competitiveness, to multibillion-dollar corporations seeking to improve their bottom-line performance, it has leveraged its business model and vision to give clients solid results and streamlined processes.
