Supply Chain Performance Optimisation
Our supply chain consultants combine practitioner-led expertise with advanced analytics, AI, and optimisation platforms to deliver measurable performance improvement across your entire supply chain operation.
Inventory Optimisation
Many companies carry too much inventory — but still struggle to meet service levels. The problem is rarely how much stock you hold; it’s whether you’re holding the right stock.
Our supply chain consultants analyse historic supply and demand data to segment products by demand behaviour and identify the most appropriate planning model for each product. We use statistical planning methods that integrate into your existing planning systems — optimising inventory for your desired service levels. The result is a repeatable process that reduces overall inventory while improving service performance.
We simulate results in advance of implementation and present clear choices between inventory investment and service levels. We then support your planning teams through implementation, ensuring revised approaches are embedded and sustained.

Supply Chain Network Optimisation
Supply chains are full of choices — where to locate facilities and warehouses, what inventory to hold where, and which customers to serve from each location. The wrong decisions drive up cost and erode service. The right ones create competitive advantage.
Our supply chain consultants have developed a range of analytical tools to solve network location problems — single site, multi-site, and hub and spoke networks.
We optimise for your specific service, product, and customer requirements, modelling actual and forecast demand to identify the network configuration that best balances cost and service performance.
Warehouse Optimisation
Efficient warehouse operations are critical to an effective supply chain. They impact the customer experience, order turnaround, capacity, and the cost to deliver. Our warehouse consultants take a structured, data-led approach to making your warehouse operation more effective.
We analyse your current layout, design, resourcing, picking, and storage operations — reviewing capacity, pick face and bulk storage configuration, and marshalling requirements.
We deliver recommendations on layout and racking configurations for new or redesigned facilities, ensuring efficient materials flow and optimised resource utilisation throughout. Our layouts are supported by 2D and 3D digital twin modelling to simulate the impact of proposed changes before any capital is committed.
We provide detailed input on pick face configuration, replenishment strategies, inventory slotting, optimal pick routes, pick processes, resource planning, and materials handling equipment selection.

Resource Planning & Optimisation
Customer demand is rarely uniform — it fluctuates across shifts, days, and seasons. Understanding those fluctuations and the activity drivers behind them allows businesses to schedule and manage resources more effectively, reducing cost while maintaining service.
Our supply chain consultants work with your teams to analyse transactional data — across warehouse, factory, and retail environments — to model activity-driven resource requirements over time.
We provide scheduling tools to improve resource planning and manage productivity across teams.
The improved understanding of activity drivers also surfaces process improvement opportunities and informs the business case for automation.
