The core promise
As a leading global management consultancy, the ERA Group primarily supports medium-sized companies in increasing their competitiveness through cost management, procurement, and process optimization in over 40 areas such as logistics, supply chain, and energy. The consultancy's work is measurable, results-oriented, and implementation-focused, generating additional liquidity that companies can reinvest directly in their future viability - without impacting day-to-day operations.
The 3 pillars of our approach (USPs)
- Holistic view (costs & processes): We don't just look at the pure purchasing conditions, but optimize the underlying processes. The goal is sustainable efficiency gains in over 40 operating cost categories and their subcategories (such as logistics, IT, energy, HR, and fleet management).
- Real-world experience instead of theory: Our more than 150 consultants in the DACH region are experienced industry and category experts who bring their expertise from many years of their own professional experience in management positions. They advise on an equal footing and understand the operational challenges of real-world practice.
- Consistent implementation partnership: We handle the negotiations and implementation of the new solutions within your company. Since our cost-cutting projects are primarily success-based (fees are only paid upon realized savings), our clients bear no financial risk.
Performance portfolio & services
- Cost Management & Procurement Audits: Benchmarking and negotiation to free up liquidity.
- Future-proof through Cost Intelligence: Data-driven analyses and process automation in procurement, production, and logistics precisely identify inefficiencies - for rapid savings, maximum transparency, and an agile supply chain.
- Process & Supply Chain Optimization: Streamlining processes and digitizing workflows.
- Ongoing Support: Continuous auditing system, often over several years, to guarantee the achievement of savings targets.
