One of Valpro's absolute strengths in helping a procurement department like ours achieve better results is Dan Rohde's extensive experience in both operational and strategic procurement.

He has a vast knowledge of the suppliers available in the market across various product types, and he knows how to treat and communicate respectfully with suppliers. This ensures that he doesn't close any doors on our behalf when deciding to exclude some suppliers.

We had considered hiring a full-time buyer, but we couldn't find a skilled enough buyer who could handle the tasks at the same level as Valpro and achieve the results Valpro has delivered for us within the same budget. In the first year with Valpro, we saved 10% on raw material purchases.

Valpro is not just typical consultants. Dan Rohde interacts very positively with our internal employees, involving them in the process so they learn to think more tactically and strategically along the way. This is at least as important as the results he achieves for us.
