Why GIS International is the logic choice for Procurement Engineering

GIS International has since its start, built up a deeply rooted partnership focus with many strategic partners in procurement and supply chain services. We spoke to Emiliano Era, Chief Supply Chain Officer to find out more.

Emiliano: “We have a diversified partnership focusing on high tech products like specialty valves, process heating systems and instrumentation. GIS International represents leading partners for these products in key markets, we act on their behalf and contribute directly to their success on these markets. With our buying power and our specialized approach - through our teams of experts - we can undertake total cost optimizations for our customers.

Procurement Engineering is one of the 4 key business offerings from GIS International, and a key element of differentiation, we bring in solid human intelligence and great capabilities to interact with both suppliers and end customers in a highly technical and specialized world.

A great example of this is our focus on customers MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Operations supplies) and engineered purchasing, an area where we are recognized for our role as the industry expert in the domains of mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic parts but also instrumentation.

How do you mostly work with your key suppliers?

Emiliano: GIS International only works with Tier 1 suppliers in products where we have built up core competences, we focus on high end engineering and distribution but we also have the design capabilities to identify the most suitable item. By being an extension of our supply partners we add substantial value for both suppliers and customers. An example of this lies in our capabilities in dealing with SME clients. These are clients that are mostly very demanding on a lot of levels, from financing to the technical and logistic support needed, and this is where we make an important difference, by assuming the role of the supplier’s channel partner in some key markets.

We are matching the needs from our clients with the offer from the large OEMS, where we act as the front end and the first line support. A lot of the businesses we are dealing with, are export project related, understanding the international end user specifications is yet another important advantage we bring in.

We focus on creating solid partnerships between these customers and the OEM’s, creating win-wins, creating value, finding the right opportunities at the best price/quality and understand how to offer the best kind of support. Procurement Engineering is all about that and more…
