Answers to your most frequent questions about Procurement consultancy and how our consultants work.
01
What are the qualifications of Altesia’s procurement consultants?

Every consultant on a mission is backed by Altesia’s Quality Engagement, which ensures methodology, coaching and quality control behind the work delivered on site.
02
What is the typical timeline for implementing Altesia’s solutions?
Timing depends entirely on the scope of your need — and that’s by design. Altesia structures its procurement consulting around two main types of engagement:
In both cases, our staffing process is fast: we typically identify and onboard the right consultant within one to two weeks. That speed makes Altesia particularly effective for urgent needs (a sudden departure, sick leave cover or an unexpected workload peak), when you can’t afford to wait several months for a permanent hire.
03
Does Altesia provide procurement advisory services for small businesses?
Yes — and our Procurement work for SMEs often has a very big impact. In SMEs, procurement is rarely managed strategically: purchases are made tactically, supplier portfolios grow organically, and there is little leverage on negotiation, contract terms or supplier performance.
Yet procurement is one of the most powerful levers an SME has to improve its margin without compromising on quality — every euro saved on purchasing flows straight to the bottom line.
Altesia’s senior consultants help small and mid-sized businesses:
We right-size the engagement to match your team, your maturity and your budget. If you are unsure about the right set-up, feel free to contact us to discuss potential options.
