Services

Consultancy

This can range from a simple ‘comfort’ chat or sounding board for your ideas, through to working sessions, which challenge your team’s assumptions and thinking processes, to specific advice, research and project working.

Performance improvement

Our methods are based on utilising proven professional ‘work study’ methodology, updated with current process and performance thinking to improve business performance and profitability across your extended supply chain.

We are not just ‘tariff analysts’, we seek sustainable long term benefits and price is just a part of the process evaluation used.

Cost Management

Aimed at providing a greater cost visibility of your major areas of expenditure. We focus on drilling down into operational processes and costs to determine need (versus budget), then we rationalise and seek best-practice supplier solutions. All under your control!

Project Management

Utilising established project management tools and techniques, from initiating to planning and running a project end to end or supporting your team as manager or player, these projects can be ‘savings’ focused or otherwise.

Logistics

Covering a vast array of supply chain and logistics areas including warehousing, distribution, inbound freight, outbound freight, courier, parcels, express, mail, transport (road/air/sea/rail), networks, route planning, incentives, models etc

Benchmarking

Particularly useful when considering supplier costs especially if you wish to do a ‘blind’ test of the market place with or without naming your company or necessarily alerting current or potential suppliers to the exercise.

Resource

Whether it’s interim management or a skills or a pure resource shortage, our extensive network of professional, ex-industry own, associate or partner consultants can help you and start adding value to your organisation immediately.

Our flexible fee schedules allow for fixed and variable payment models, with terms available by agreed project length or by the day.

Training

Where you have a skills shortage or just want us to help your team develop their thinking, we can help with a range of courses tailor made to your business needs.
