ERA assisted Inwido in streamlining purchasing across three factories, standardising production supplies, and realising annual savings of 10–25%, whilst maintaining quality and operational reliability.
ERA assisted window and door manufacturer Inwido in streamlining purchasing across three factories in Finland. Previously, each factory managed its own supplier contacts, which hindered coordination and the attainment of volume discounts. Through a comprehensive analysis of over 2,000 items, ERA successfully identified common requirements, standardised supplies, and negotiated new supplier agreements.
The outcome was a strengthened negotiating position, enhanced quality deliveries, and long-term savings of 10–25% per annum. Owing to continuous monitoring, Inwido's purchasing team can now concentrate on strategically important procurements whilst ensuring efficient and sustainable operations.
