We are business controllers, specialised in supplier conditions and sets of conditions. We apply our financial know-how to structurally improve your purchasing processes and results, rendering them manageable.
For the Recovery project, we worked with Recentes, with the aim of investigating missed bonuses and price differentials within the GP Groot Group. We are very satisfied with their professional and structured approach. The investigation showed that our processes are largely in order, confirming our internal quality assurance. Nevertheless, Recentes managed to discover a valuable leak in the area of duplicate payments - a finding that was outside the original scope. Thanks to this discovery, we have implemented additional controls to mitigate this risk in the future. The remaining processes were assessed as robust and requiring no adjustments. This is partly due to the strong collaboration between the Procurement (pictured), Controlling and divisional departments. We appreciate Recentes' thorough approach and warmly recommend them for similar projects.

What is the historical development of the products in question? How innovative is the supplier? What is the throughput and the capital utilisation [..]
