If Any of These Sound Familiar, We Can Help
We work with consumer goods companies facing specific, recognisable problems. Each challenge below describes the problem and what we do to solve it.
Forecast Accuracy That Undermines Everything Else
Poor forecasts cascade through your business - excess inventory on slow lines, stockouts on key SKUs, expedited freight costs, and production schedules that change daily. Your planners spend more time firefighting than planning, and promotional uplift remains guesswork.
What we do
Deploy AI-powered demand forecasting that learns from your historical patterns, incorporates promotional and external signals, and continuously improves. We implement the technology, integrate it with your ERP, train your team, and can manage the ongoing model tuning.
S&OP That Exists in Name Only
You have monthly S&OP meetings, but they have become status updates rather than decision forums. Demand and supply plans do not align. Finance builds their own forecast. Commercial makes commitments the supply chain cannot fulfil.
What we do
Redesign your S&OP or IBP process from the ground up - defining decision rights, meeting structures, KPIs, and escalation paths. We implement planning technology that provides a single version of the truth, then embed the new ways of working through hands-on coaching.
Trade Spend Without Visibility of ROI
Promotional activity is planned in spreadsheets, evaluated retrospectively, and the true incremental volume is impossible to prove. Meanwhile, the commercial team commits to activities without understanding supply implications.
What we do
Implement trade promotion management and optimisation tools that bring planning, approval, execution tracking, and ROI analysis into a single workflow. We configure the solution, integrate it with your commercial data, and establish the disciplines to make it stick.
Planning Teams Drowning in Spreadsheets
Your planners are skilled, but they spend 80% of their time gathering data, reconciling versions, and building reports - leaving little time for actual analysis and decision-making. Critical knowledge lives in individual spreadsheets and people's heads.
What we do
Implement integrated planning platforms that automate data consolidation, provide collaborative workflows, and free your team to focus on exceptions and value-added analysis. We handle the technology deployment and can provide ongoing support.
Supply Chain Firefighting as the Norm
Every day brings surprises - supplier delays, production issues, customer order changes - and your team reacts heroically but exhaustingly. There is no early warning system, no structured way to assess impact, and decisions are made with incomplete information.
What we do
Deploy supply chain visibility and control tower solutions that provide real-time exception alerts, impact assessment, and recommended actions. We integrate across your supply network and establish the operational rhythms to use these capabilities effectively.
Revenue Growth Management Without a Single Source of Truth
Volume, price, mix and promotion data sit in separate systems and disconnected spreadsheets. Commercial teams cannot see which SKUs, customers or promotions are truly driving margin, and pricing decisions are made on instinct rather than evidence. Opportunities to grow revenue and protect margin are missed.
What we do
Implement a purpose-built insight platform that unifies volume, price, mix and promotion data into one place. We deploy it within 60 days, integrate it with your commercial data, and embed the RGM disciplines that turn insight into action.
