In many businesses, the spend on oil products account for a substantial amount of the cost base. Meanwhile, the security of supply is so essential to the business that the willingness to look at alternative supply sources is limited.
The oil market is characterised by lack of transparency and the product and the logistic setup around it is highly technical. In order to be able to ensure a robust and cost effective supply contract, specialised knowledge and expertise provides a significant advantage in getting the right terms and conditions.
Despite the financial impact of the category few business can justify having dedicated in-house resources with oil business expertise.
As a consequence, the professional and highly specialised sales force representing the seller is often facing a purchasing manager with no specific knowledge of the oil market.
Gedefa’s role is to secure the interest of the customer in respect of optimizing the qualities, logistics and general contract terms in order to create a long term and robust solution around the oil products purchase.
Gedefa assesses the current contracts, supply structure and business needs. Based on this analysis the optimization potential is identified and together with the customer a robust and cost effective solution will be implemented.
This service is directed towards players with local supply requirement.
Gedefa can be appointed by either the selling or purchasing party to explore the market for a potential counterpart. Though a broad international network and industry knowledge, the market is explored for a suited counterpart. Gedefa acts as an agent and the purchase contract will be signed directly between the selling and purchasing party.
This service is directed towards players with own storage facilities accessible for international deliveries.
We know and we respect the fact, that we work in a field where a robust supply chain is critical for the success of a business. Creating value for our customers will therefore never compromise the supply robustness.
When we sign a contract, our primary goal is to deliver measurable value for our customer. We aim to facilitate long term relations as oppose to short term single sided wins.
We will walk a way from a business opportunity rather than compromise our business principles.
We do what we say and we say what we feel.
We treat our business relations - customers as well as counterparts with respect and we expect to be treated the same.
