Understanding Issues

It’s the not knowing that hurts

When you can’t see a supply chain problem, you can’t work to solve it. Action after the event is already too late. The damage has been done. We look at every moving part of your supply chain to discover the internal, supplier and carrier bottlenecks, breakdowns and delays that hurt your business. We help you visualise all of the important metrics so you can stay in control of your Supply Chain.

Planning & Strategy

New visibility strategies that simply plan the pain away

Most businesses obsess over supplier performance - a lagging indicator. But in reality, every part of your supply chain needs to have control points that tell you how you’re performing. Lagging indicators that measure supplier performance, AND leading indicators to measure team performance (for example, has our team placed the purchase orders on time?). Once we understand your potential supply chain weaknesses, we create strategies that simply plan them away.

How does supply chain analytics work?

Supply Chain Analytics works by aggregating all your important reporting into one easy-to-access and interpret place. You can create a simple dashboard or use a much bigger analytics software suite. Either way, the idea is to make it as easy as possible to access your data and be able to make informed decisions quickly and efficiently.

How can you make supply chain more efficient through data?

Data is your secret weapon when it comes to operational efficiency. Knowing your numbers (and having confidence they are accurate) gives you a competitive edge when it comes to streamlining your processes. Having a set of specific supply chain efficiency metrics to refer to enables you to see where you can reduce materials and resources, or adjust your processes for maximum output.

What should a supply chain dashboard include?

The short answer to that is… it depends. It depends on what is important to your business. Your supply chain analytics dashboard should include all the key numbers you need to know upfront to make quick business-critical decisions. Those could be costs, time, or inventory-related.
