Services
Expertise that moves from analysis to action.
Five connected service areas. Engage one, or combine them to address the whole picture — supplier, cost, process and systems.
Strategic Sourcing & Supplier Support
Find, evaluate and coordinate the right suppliers — at home or abroad — for the materials, packaging and ingredients your business depends on.
Problems it addresses
- Supplier base that has grown by accident rather than by design
- Limited visibility into alternative domestic or international options
- Packaging or ingredient inputs that are hard to source consistently
- Supplier communication spread across too many people and inboxes
Potential workstreams
- Domestic and international supplier identification and evaluation
- Packaging and ingredient sourcing support
- Supplier coordination and communication structure
- Supplier performance visibility, such as shared dashboards
Cost & COGS Analysis
Break down cost of goods sold into the drivers behind it, so pricing, negotiation and investment decisions rest on evidence instead of assumption.
Problems it addresses
- Margins under pressure without a clear explanation why
- Unit costs that are averaged, estimated or out of date
- Negotiations with suppliers that lack a fact base
- Difficulty prioritising which cost levers to pull first
Potential workstreams
- Cost of goods (COGS) breakdown by product, component or channel
- Cost-driver analysis across materials, labour, freight and overhead
- Scenario modelling for sourcing and specification changes
- Prioritised opportunity list to inform negotiation and planning
Process Improvement
Apply proven quality disciplines — Lean Six Sigma and Deming's total quality management — to reduce waste, variation and rework in everyday operations.
Problems it addresses
- Recurring quality issues that get fixed but never solved
- Hand-offs and approvals that slow work down
- Processes that depend on a few individuals' knowledge
- Improvement efforts that fade once attention moves on
Potential workstreams
- Process mapping and waste identification
- Root-cause analysis and variation reduction
- Total quality management (TQM) principles embedded in routines
- Measures and review rhythms that sustain improvement
Outsourced Services & Execution
Extend your team with domestic or international outsourced support that carries recommendations through to execution.
Problems it addresses
- A clear plan, but no capacity to carry it out
- Specialist work that doesn't justify a full-time hire
- International partners that are difficult to manage remotely
- Projects that stall between strategy and implementation
Potential workstreams
- Scoping which activities are suited to outsourcing
- Domestic and international outsourced service coordination
- Hands-on implementation support alongside your team
- Transition planning and handover
AI & Business Systems
Map the workflows that slow your team down, then build the right tool for them — custom dashboards, portals and internal tools, reviewed AI-assisted document and knowledge workflows, and scoped e-commerce and inventory integrations — with training and ongoing improvement.
Problems it addresses
- The same data re-keyed across quotes, orders and inventory
- Spreadsheets and inboxes acting as systems of record
- Product launches coordinated across scattered documents and tasks
- Answers to routine questions locked in a few people's heads
Potential workstreams
- Workflow mapping and bottleneck analysis
- Custom dashboards, portals and internal tools
- Reviewed AI-assisted document and knowledge workflows
- Scoped e-commerce and inventory integrations
- Training, handover and ongoing improvement
Beyond consulting
When the answer is a tool, we can build it.
Alongside these consulting services, we design and build custom tools and practical AI workflows — quoting tools, catalog operations, document assistants and portals — scoped per client.
Scope is agreed with each client. Results depend on each organisation's circumstances; we don't promise specific savings or financial outcomes.
