CASE STUDY

Millions in EUR saved and predictable energy costs thanks to a clear buying strategy

In a large automotive organisation, leadership buy-in was critical: decision rules, a repeatable process, and materials that were easy to approve. We built a structured cadence (workshops + decision pack) that enabled tranche buying and delivered multi-million EUR savings and more stable energy prices.

Goal

Implement an energy procurement strategy that delivers savings and cost stability — and has full leadership buy-in for execution.

Challenges

Procurement decisions had a major impact on operating costs, but there were no consistent rules and no clear decision owner.

Leadership needed to be embedded in the process, so decisions were fast and defensible.

Moving to tranche buying required trust in the model and disciplined execution.

The organisation needed data with clear interpretation: what it means and what we do next.

What we did

End-to-end procurement strategy: we defined decision rules, risk scenarios, and an execution plan tailored to the company.

A regular leadership cadence: we ran working sessions and trainings so the model was understood and consistently applied.

Tranche buying implementation: we designed how to split volume and time windows, making decisions more flexible and less risky.

Data + interpretation + recommendations: we delivered market monitoring, charts, and clear takeaways so decisions were based on facts, not gut feel.

“Ready for approval” materials: each step was closed with a short decision brief: recommendation, risks, options, and the next move.
