Approach: How does Tendria work?
Your organization, your needs and your procurement are not the same as those of other companies. Tendria starts every process with a quick scan: an intake to determine your current spend and supply base, the starting point to target the categories to achieve savings. Easily benchmark your expenses!
With the outcome of this scan, we can determine which existing volume contracts you can immediately implement to achieve quick wins.
In addition, there may be categories specific to your business. We can take these to the market in a tailored solution, keeping in mind the potential of other customers in the collective. This will result in greatly improved conditions and of course with the same or improved service from the supplier.
Depending on the procurement maturity of your organisation, we can also support the development and / or professionalisation of the procurement function if required.
Elements of our approach
Just as every customer and every organisation is unique, so is every purchasing project. In general, we identify the following 4 elements in our approach but the content and application can differ.
Quick scan
Gain insight in and understanding of your indirect costs...Insight in your indirect spend
… and determine on which categories you can save the most
Contracts
Participate in one of the many existing framework contracts we offer...Highly improved contracts
… resulting in significantly improved conditions and much lower costs
Control
Ensure supplier compliance with contract terms & conditions...Sharp contract management
… for smooth implementation and accurate execution of the contract
Events
Join our peer2peer network, events and deep-dive sessions...Sharing of knowledge & experience
… and learn about different topics, approaches & opportunities
We achieve all of this, of course, while maintaining or improving the supplier’s level of service, which Tendria monitors closely. Tendria monitors supplier performance by taking on contract-and supplier management tasks. Tendria helps by taking care of the indirect products and services that your business needs. You are assured of significant TCO improvements with suppliers that best suit your needs.
Finally, Tendria connects customers by various means. Examples of this are events about a specific, relevant topic and periodic meetings of discipline experts of different companies.

Finally, we are not in the habit of making long reports and fancy presentations but focus on proactive and concrete actions to serve you as quickly and as well as possible. The SnapPepper tools can help you to gain insight in your data and determine which actions to take next.
Projects & Investments
Every investment is unique. We can support you throughout the entire investment process in machinery, materials, buildings, and more and help you get the maximum result from your investments.
Tendria will first discuss the technical requirements with the customer’s engineers. Determining the most important (technical) principles and aligning the customer’s priorities so that a targeted search for suppliers can be made. In consultation with the customer, discussions will take place with suppliers and ultimately a preference will be proposed.
Negotiation and contracting are of course part of the work, as well as monitoring the implementation and transfer to the customer.
