Trading & Distribution

Getting the right goods in front of the right customers at the right time is a central pillar of many businesses’ operating models, and a challenge that sits at the heart of today’s global economy.

In a digital and globalized market, trading and distribution - or route-to-market - has evolved into a complex multi-channel function that balances both the internal and outsourced sales, marketing and distribution operations of an organization.

With our market-proven transformation expertise, which combines the core principles of Lean with cutting-edge digital technologies,, we enable you to eliminate waste from every stage of this process, improving your productivity, transforming business performance, and delivering a clear return on investment.

Working alongside your internal team, we implement custom strategies that improve sales and operations planning (S&OP) processes, increase revenue without sacrificing profit and identify the optimum distribution solutions. 

Our consultants help you to improve HR, enhance inventory management and ensure optimum use of resources. Together with your team, we will also create a firm but flexible foundation that enables you to adapt to continually evolving market complexity, allowing you to become more agile and responsive to changes in social and consumer trends. More efficient processes and management at your depots help to reduce costs, while at the retail end, staff have more time to spend looking after customers. 

That’s not all. Our implemented methodologies will help you to improve communication and collaboration between departments as well. By establishing cross-functional teams and implementing visual management techniques, you can improve communication and ensure everyone is working towards a common goal: the goal of sustainable business transformation and long-term growth.

LEAN DISTRIBUTION & TRANSPORTATION

Having raw material suppliers, production facilities and end customers scattered throughout the world, embedded in an increasingly integrated global economy market give transportation a key role in a company’s financial performance, because it holds the potential to manage and lever the inventory building and holding, the space needs, the total lead time and the geographic impact of the overall supply chain effort, making transportation an excellent candidate for Lean Solutions.
