It definitely made a big difference for us to reach our goals.””

“
OYORafael Orlandi, Supply Chain Manager

“OYO hired 3FG to support and lead several negotiations with key company suppliers amid the crisis generated by the Covid-19 pandemic, perhaps the biggest crisis facing the hotel sector. The process was extremely agile and transparent, and the results were extremely satisfactory, with important savings achieved without any harm to our relationship with suppliers/partners.”

“
PERNOD RICARD BRASILPedro Lopes Cardoso, Purchasing Director

“I worked with 3FG on consulting projects on corporate benefits, such as benefits cards and health insurance. I was very satisfied with the deliverables of each of the projects and can emphasize 3FG´s expertise in negotiations and its broad knowledge of the supplier market. Besides, it has played a fundamental role in creating and protecting the Procurement area’s value with the Human Resources teams involved in the processes.”

“
NITRO QUÍMICAMauricio Galvão, CFO

“I’ve been interacting with 3FG for four years and consider it a consultancy company focused on achieving results and supporting business in a very effective way. So far, I have had two support experiences in different segments (Services and Industrial/Chemical), and 3FG has brought good insights working as a team with our business areas to develop solutions that involve cost optimization via consumption reduction or price revision. Its consultants’ wide range and experience constitute a competitive differential that makes our proposed benchmarks feasible, negotiation strategies effective, and lead our teams to think out of the box. I highly recommend 3FG when optimizing fixed and variable costs!”

“
JFL ALARMESRosana Mendes, General Management

“Since 2018, JFL Alarmes Group’s Strategic Planning has developed under the Instruction, Contribution and Knowledge Sharing of 3FG Soluções Empresariais.
