Radically changing every area of an expanding retail business to capitalise on growth

A top 5 UK retailer business was experiencing rapid growth, required a new operating model and operational overhaul.

Using proven tools and methodologies we provided a model to help our client understand their end-to-end supply chain, providing a fact-based definition for rapid and informed decisions. Over the course of a year they opened 43 new stores, using the model each time to identify the best way of fulfilling each one.

“We want to run a lean supply chain operation, but often cost savings at one point in the chain are at the expense of increased cost elsewhere. This model helps us understand the whole story, end-to-end.”
“This gave us fact-based decision-making that is now far quicker. In the competitive supermarket industry, this kind of agility is imperative. It delivers a joined-up view of what each supply chain represents and how to manage trade-offs, all under-pinned by sound data.”
