INVERTO, A BCG Company – We deliver results.
Clear focus on measurable and sustainable results
There is probably no other field where success can be measured as well as in procurement. The results of our work are directly visible, and increase efficiency and profitability. This applies not only to cost reductions but also to the performance optimization. Modern procurement isn’t just about cutting costs, — it’s pivotal in driving innovation, supply security, digitalization and sustainability.
Perfect balance of theory and practice to deliver procurement transformation
Our consultants not only work on client projects, but also deal with current technical issues, industry-specific challenges or legal framework conditions within our practice areas and center of excellence. They prepare studies, whitepapers and professional articles in which they take a stand and give recommendations for action. Our aim is to further develop procurement in all its aspects and to define new standards. In this way, we support our clients in achieving the benchmarks in their respective industries.

Supporting project work with efficient procedures and digital tools
To find tailored solutions for our clients, we have always relied on the use of digital tools. Today, we work with advanced analytics and artificial intelligence. Our clients benefit from our many years of experience in procurement and SCM. With this expertise, we can evaluate the benefits of digital solutions and deploy them in a targeted manner.
The INVERTO growth story
Results and team spirit
The INVERTO story started 22 years ago as the idea of our three founders. Since then, we have grown from a Cologne-based start-up to an international company, with more than 500 employees across 11 countries. We have been part of BCG since 2017, creating new perspectives and helping companies to successfully master the challenges on their way into the future.
Internationally minded and networked, but at the same time regionally connected to best understand the needs of our clients on site – to ensure that we succeed in this balancing act, we staff our project teams internationally and diversely. The goal is to offer our clients a consulting team with the optimal mix of industry and technical expertise to achieve the best possible results.
And while all our colleagues have different stories to tell and different goals, we have one thing in common: we are all very INVERTO.
How can procurement consultants help?
Procurement optimization is and always has been about increasing value creation in order to remain competitive in the long term. However, pure cost optimization is no longer sufficient in the current environment, as procurement and SCM now face a sustainable transformation. Strategic cooperation with suppliers has never been more important and going forward, sustainability criteria will be indispensable to this process. These developments have made supply chains more complex, so the risks for companies are increasing. Procurement consultants work with you to develop concepts and strategies to mitigate these challenges, then provide support for their implementation.
Procurement consultants also advise companies on the digitalization of their procurement and SCM. This process offers excellent opportunities to businesses, but managers are often unsure where to start and which digital solutions would be suitable for their needs. After in-depth process analysis and optimization, procurement consultants can work with you to establish your priorities, then map out the journey to digitalized procurement.
