Elevate Your Operations
Enhancing Your Procurement Process
TDC Procurement is a founder-led procurement, supply chain, and operations execution firm based in Wayzata, Minnesota. The
business is two years old and led by Cole Rennecke, who brings 12 years of procurement and supply chain experience, six years
of military service, and a finance background.
We support companies that either do not have dedicated procurement leadership or have buyers, planners, finance teams, and
operations leaders who are too buried in daily tactical work to step back and fix the system.
Many companies have people placing orders, following up with suppliers, managing shortages, reviewing invoices, planning
production, handling warehouse issues, and answering finance questions. What they often lack is the time, visibility, and operating
structure to see where cost, cash, service, and process issues are really coming from.
TDC Procurement steps in, identifies the highest-value problems, builds a practical plan, and executes the fix through short, focused sprints
Who we Help
● Companies with buyers or procurement teams who are stuck in daily tactical work.
● CFOs, controllers, and finance leaders who need better spend, inventory, committed spend, and budget visibility.
● Operations leaders who are dealing with late suppliers, production schedule changes, stockouts, fulfillment issues, or
warehouse bottlenecks.
● Manufacturers and industrial companies where purchasing, inventory, production, and finance are connected but not fully
aligned.
● Companies evaluating or implementing procurement software, AP automation, AI tools, EDI, API integrations, or reporting
dashboards.
● Businesses that need procurement and supply chain improvement but are not ready to hire full-time leadership or a large
consulting firm.
