Testimonials

York Novenco, André Omø Agerholm, Head of Logistic-IT& TQM:

“Our purchasers were a little sceptical to begin with, but after a few projects was completed, we asked ourselves if we could “add” the concept of the process to our own strategic purchases. The rest of our staff has found the process both interesting and instructive. Contrary to what most companies think about the ‘No-Cure-No-Fee’ model, I was very happy finally to meet consultants willing to take a risk and I must say that I have not been disappointed.”

Goodyear Dunlop Tires Danmark A/S, Birgitta Yhrlund, Logistic Nordic:

“Working with Acos has meant savings beyond a double-digit million number in our Danish import freight costs. Further more we have reduced the total number of suppliers from 16 to 3 which has given us a far more effective and quicker communication. Acos’ Post Audit process ensures effective revision of all new agreements that are signed and extra costs become visual and can be re-negotiated at once. We especially appreciated Acos’ method to deal with the purchase process – including the concept of constant follow up. Besides savings, Acos has given Goodyear Dunlop full overview of our freight area at a critical moment since we moved the HQ for freight from Denmark to Sweden.”

International Health Insurance danmark a/s, Allan Møller, CFO:

“We started cautiously with our office supplies (Office), but even there, Acos found important savings. Then we extended the agreement to other areas, a.o. Printing (stationary) where Acos found very substantial savings. We also obtained an overview of all our printed materials. Our expectations were certainly met. I have hardly spent time on the projects, except of our first meetings and the meeting with presentation of the report, where Acos presented the results and their recommendations. I think having spent max. 2 hours in average per category. Bottom line, the time
spent hasn’t influenced much in the size of the savings found.”

Denmarks Design School, Lisbeth Dybdal, Administrative Director:

”After a somewhat difficult start up, we extended our co-operation with Acos which then resulted in real savings for Denmarks Design School. Another positive result was that it helped us focus on the right things to do internally. Finally; it is always good to keep the fact in mind, that when you follow a concept consequently, well,
then it works.”

Danfoss Marine Systems, Søren Kristiansen VP, Finance:

“When we introduced Acos into our organisation, the reaction from our staff was rather sceptical. Later on Acos proved to manage the process in a very professional manner, meaning that our staff ended out being very happy with the co-operation with Acos.”

The Royal Danish Theatre, Sten Hassing Møller; Marketing Director:

”I was rather sceptical when our CFO suggested to hire external consultants to help us make savings. Now knowing Acos, I can only say, that the assignment has been fulfilled very professionally. Further more I was positively surprised by the value, quality and ease-of-use of the report material that Acos produced.”

PFA Pension A/S, Michael Winkelman, Purchasing Manager:

‘PFA and Acos started with an important category for a large pension fund: Stationary, forms and envelopes. Not only were savings produced, but optimization of all processes around handling and logistics were carried out as well. After the initial round, Michael Winkelman now merely considers Acos’ Printing Expert, Jesper Holst, as member of the PFA internal staff.’

“With Jesper Holst, we now have an expert who knows PFA’s requirements and demands, who knows sufficiently about the market outside PFA so he can bring us new ideas and possibilities. The costs related to Acos’ services have been fully repaid, and the co-operation continues in new areas as well, which proves our satisfaction and trust in Acos.”

Sony Nordic A/S, Hans Kløv, Finance Director:

”Due to a very hard competitive market, Sony has an ongoing task to reduce costs where it’s possible. Our expectations were quite fulfilled and we probably saved around 2 mill. Dkr., which is very satisfying. Furthermore Acos has given me an unexpected overview and knowledge of the printing market in Scandinavia. I will not hesitate to recommend Acos, and Sony is considering implementing similar solutions in the rest of the Nordic countries – Could you ask for a better recommendation?”

Struers A/S, Steen Jensen, Chief Financial Officer:

‘Struers is focused on cost saving, it is part of the company objectives.'

'“We control more than 40% of the global market and that obliges. I think that Acos has proven to have a very strong concept which has provided us savings exceeding 20%, but just as important– Acos hasn’t promised anything that couldn’t be delivered. Acos has very high ethics and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to others.”

Combifragt Group, Karin Wienberg, Controller/HR-responsible:

“It’s just a bonus for us, that Acos could find savings between 20% and 25% in some categories. It has also given us much better overview of those markets we have been dealing with and I think this have only been positive. We have reached a solution without spending too much time, except for checking Acos’ calculations in the Post Audit process.”
