Your Challenge

There are serious competence gaps, competence management is lacking, and the potential of digitization for new business models is underestimated. New players on the market threaten the core business and may want to substitute it.

Our Mission

Providing experienced top managers with high technological and strategic competence who have a track record in building businesses.

Your Challenge

Unclear data on sustainability. You do not have an implementation-oriented senior manager as an orchestrator of measures. Lack of mindset in the organization regarding sustainability issues. Stakeholder expectations for sustainability are increasing significantly, but new business opportunities through sustainable thinking and action as well as circular economy are insufficiently addressed.

Your Challenge

Your Solution

Atreus approved experts ensure successful implementation and provide management with support. They guarantee transparency in the course of the project and take over the management of all external service providers and implementation partners.

Your Challenge

Your subsidiary is in crisis mode or in critical economic situation. Non-managed growth or competence gaps abroad at subsidiaries. Too little connection to parent company, too little transparency, too little intercultural experience. Compliance cases need to be resolved, day-to-day business needs to be ensured and employees need to be reassured.

Our Mission

We provide you with internationally / interculturally experienced senior managers who can demonstrate track record abroad. Stabilization of the situation by linking with the parent company. Immediate takeover of the management. Manage day-to-day operations of production, purchasing, sales and finance as well as special projects. Calming, coaching and developing the team.

Atreus managers are a guarantee for full transparency in ensuring the smooth running of the business, taking over ongoing projects, resolving compliance cases, and managing growth or restructuring projects.

Your Challenge

Your purchasing is not sufficiently strategic / innovative and not sufficiently transparent. Insufficient degree of automation in purchasing (connection to suppliers, markets, etc.) and thus low efficiency. Cost reduction potentials are insufficiently leveraged (benchmarking). Serious competence gaps and lack of competence management. Operational: Supply bottlenecks lead to production backlogs, backlog and liquidity problems. Volatility on raw material markets is not countered in a forward-looking / risk-minimizing manner.

Our Mission

We provide you with experienced resources for project as well as line tasks in the purchasing area. Transfer of best practices from other industries. Professionalization and realignment of the purchasing area (competence management, mindset, processes, automation, tools, etc.). Sparring partner to business suppliers in strategic and operational purchasing. Risk analyses as well as make-or-buy analyses.

Savings programs are set up as well as digitized and optimized purchasing processes (commodity group management, supplier management, e-sourcing strategies, procurement, project purchasing, e-procurement). Bottleneck management and risk-minimized raw material purchasing and procurement as an integral part of the S&OP process. Ensuring on-time material delivery so that on-time delivery rate and customer satisfaction increases. Culture change (performance and team) enables innovative and modern working with improved team spirit. Alignment with CFO and business ensures more efficient alignment.

Your Challenge

The lack of transparency in your supply chain leads to high risk and also to delivery failures. Too high costs, insufficient contractual agreements and processes that are too manual and intransparent. Inadequate management of international supply chains and too little dovetailing between sales, supply chain, operations, purchasing and controlling.

Ensuring timely delivery of all materials, components and systems as well as external services in the project business.

Your Solution

Atreus approved managers set up clean planning processes, for example, which optimize lead times in sales, production and purchasing. They ensure increased customer satisfaction through on-time delivery, achieve cost savings through bundling effects or through outsourcing of value creation (make or buy). They make sure that the supply chain is not on a critical path in the project business. An important element is the digitalization of processes by means of ERP, EDI, e-procurement and e-platforms, which provide the customer with transparency and daily updated data. Atreus managers actively minimize risks in the event of delivery bottlenecks and outages. They systematically increase employee satisfaction through clearly defined and transparent processes.

Your Challenge
