- Supply Chain Excellence: Understand, map and connect disparate data to unearth opportunities to optimise, strengthen and enforce decisions across your supply chain.
In this fast-evolving world of globally integrated, dynamic supply chains, businesses need to create agility, flexibility and real time visibility along their supply chains. This need not mean millions of dollars in expensive hardware and software solutions.
Our specialists leverage advanced analytics tools to collate data from disparate and legacy systems, enhance reporting of key metrics, and create genuinely useful intelligence to inform decision-making. We also assess and create “what if” scenarios that allow you to manage supply chain risk.
- Supplier Engagement: Gain a 360° view of your strategic supplier relationships to drive continuous improvement and innovation. Access critical insights from internal and supplier data, plus external market intelligence.
It’s your strategic suppliers - the top of the chain - who can really impact the way you work. Supplier Relationship Managers need to move from the tactical to the strategic but this requires the best intelligence, systems and procedures to manage and report on suppliers.
Working collaboratively with our clients and their suppliers, we combine data from internal and supplier systems (performance, contracts etc) with external market intelligence (risk, innovation etc), to deliver a 360° view of key relationships: a single source of intelligence, plus critical insights which enable proactive supplier engagement and more strategic decision-making, to maximise collaboration, outcomes and value.
