Don't you have a purchasing department? Learn how QTS can help your business.

An opinion article by Manuel Ferro, Chief Operating Officer - QTS

Currently, we are watching a global trend of specialization, and for this reason, and more specifically in industry, investments in subcontracting or outsourcing have been achieving increasing importance, either from time to time or more systematically. Often entrusting the functions and tasks of a Purchasing Department to a specialized external partner.

From my point of view, there are several advantages and benefits in subcontracting, since:

• Presents itself as a viable and fast solution to fill some areas of the production process.
• It allows the use of companies specialized in each sector, offering guarantees of productivity and logistics.
• Ensures complementary activities such as storage, maintenance, and conservation of raw materials.
• It enables costs that could be fixed, if the company had in-house resources, to become variable. in-house, to become variable.
• Assists fast market access, without the need for large investments.

Then, we can conclude that there are clear advantages in resorting to subcontracting (cost, efficiency, quality), provided that aligned with the objectives and strategy of the company and enhancing value creation.

In the specific case of QTS, most of our subcontracting clients use our services when:

• They don't have a Purchasing Department.
• Need more than one supplier for the same project.
