Struggling to coordinate purchases from multiple suppliers across Europe

      Struggling to coordinate purchases from multiple suppliers across Europe

      Neu

      We operate a construction equipment business and purchase specialized components from at least 5 suppliers in Germany, Italy, and Poland. Coordinating orders, invoicing, and delivery windows across so many countries is turning into a nightmare. We’re losing time, missing delivery slots, and sometimes paying for duplicate transport. I’m starting to think we need a procurement consolidation solution or someone to manage the whole chain. Has anyone had success setting up something like this in the EU?

      We had a very similar issue with our agricultural tech company — we sourced sensors, solar panels, and metal parts from different EU countries and couldn’t keep track of what was coming from where and when. Our solution was working with Sea Gate Logistic. They helped us build a streamlined procurement in EU model by acting as an intermediary between us and all our suppliers. They received all the goods at their central hub in Bulgaria, checked for completeness and damage, and only then consolidated and shipped the full batch to our plant in Croatia. This eliminated constant truck arrivals at odd times and reduced our customs admin too. They also negotiated better courier terms for us by bundling transport. On top of that, their team tracked PO statuses and flagged delays before they became a problem. If you want to stop managing 10 mini-supply chains and run just one — that approach worked wonders for us.
