what we offer
Purchase Order Optimisation
Alliancell gives clients access to a global pool of suppliers, carefully selected based on four key criteria:
- quality standards,
- commercial conditions
- ethical standards and certifications
- customer requirements.
By combining our purchasing volume, supplier network and market expertise, we increase your buying power and help you secure competitive purchasing conditions.
Equal conditions for equal contracts: where the same supplier contracts apply, the same price levels and negotiated discounts apply to all our clients. Final pricing is determined by the applicable contract terms and logistics costs.
For our procurement services, Alliancell manages the purchasing process on your behalf. We place your purchase orders directly with suppliers and negotiate the best available conditions, while you retain control of your purchasing decisions.
In addition, Alliancell actively participates in market opportunities and spot trading, where we may purchase and resell pulp in our own name. This allows us to offer clients additional supply and purchasing opportunities when attractive market conditions arise.
Logistic and back office management
Alliancell can take care of the day-to-day operational work behind your purchasing, acting as the central point of contact between you, suppliers and logistics partners.
We manage the complete order process, from placing orders and confirming quantities and delivery schedules to coordinating deliveries and following up until completion.
Our back-office support includes:
- Order placement and order confirmation.
- Coordination of delivery schedules, call-offs and logistics.
- Follow-up with suppliers, warehouses and transport partners.
- Monitoring orders and deliveries and proactively addressing delays or issues.
- Problem-solving and day-to-day operational follow-up.
- Managing shipping and delivery documentation.
- Checking supplier invoices against agreed prices, quantities and delivery conditions.
- Providing clear visibility on orders, deliveries and related costs.
This allows our clients to outsource the administrative and operational workload associated with their pulp purchasing, while keeping control of their purchasing decisions.
Certification & compliance support
With our experience in the pulp and paper industry, we guide and support our clients with forestry and sustainability certifications, including FSC®, PEFC and Ecolabel, as well as other relevant certification requirements.
We also support clients with EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance, providing the relevant supply-chain data, traceability and documentation required to support their due diligence processes.
For clients who are in the process of obtaining certification, we can help identify and meet the applicable requirements and provide the necessary supplier information and documentation.
