Procuring with added value

It makes a vital contribution to the success of the company, and this can be seen on the balance sheet. ADDRED’s experience and competence can make a measurable improvement in your procurement results.
The procurement process includes preparation and processing of a demand as well as the end receipt and approval of payment.
