Hands-on management

Procurement and supply
From day-to-day spend management to major procurement systems overhauls, we cover the whole procurement cycle. Our consultants complement your teams, and our interim managers lead the procurement function through a reorganisation or an integration.
On these subjects, Auxys works in two ways, across France. Through specialist resourcing, a procurement consultant joins your function or your project and works under your direction. Through interim management, a manager takes charge of the procurement function and leads the change over the agreed period.
