EPSA group becomes the main purchasing “market place” in Europe with the acquisition of ExperBuy.


EPSA stands out as the key player in the purchasing outsourcing and consulting market.

Since 2001, EPSA, the European leader in business performance consulting, has been supporting its customers on all categories of spend.

The landscape of the evolving purchasing sector, EPSA Group stands out

While improving performance is not new in the managerial agenda of companies, the challenges of transformation today lead companies to look for partners capable of accompanying them and helping them to focus on their core business.

In addition, the need to optimize costs is now combined with the desire to limit supplier risks in a context of increasingly stringent regulations for large groups. We are thus witnessing a growing demand for marketplaces to outsource certain purchases, especially for non-recurring needs.

EPSA group’s strategy is to offer its services on all the needs of a purchasing department, be it in the phase of analyzing the spend, the execution of tenders, the reduction of costs or Outsourcing of certain non-strategic functions through specialized marketplaces. This 360 ° vision will help to blur the usual boundaries between consulting, outsourcing and cost reduction, thus building the business partner of choice.
