Success you have in meeting current and future demand and if you are able to quickly respond to opportunities and changing customer requirements
After the above analytics has been completed, companies often realize they have a lot to improve upon and it is accepted that competing will be a constant challenge not to mention what the future has in store.
You may find that you need advice, you have questions and know there are factors to be fully understood and considered before developing your e-commerce, omnichannel fulfillment and B2B strategy.
Questions such as:
-
Are our distribution warehouses in the right place to meet customer service expectations, and our own forecasts … are facilities right sized, do we need to expand our fulfillment network to gain revenue growth ... to improve delivery speed?
-
Consideration of automation and determination of the type automation and ROI.
-
Considering multi-year forecasts how do we plan for the expected outcome? How can we logically determine where is our growth is going to come from each of the next 3-5 years?
-
How do we optimize our network while minimizing risk, cost, and customer service … time-to-market?
-
How fast should we build our new network? Can we leverage any existing facilities?
-
Should we assess “buy vs. lease” real estate solution; outsource to 3PLs … some or all facilities or locations?
How can we help you improve or re-design your network to make it a performance weapon?
Our Approach: we begin by assessing your current state to understand "today", establish a baseline and identify where competitive advantage lies, what your service levels are and/or need to be and what your supply chain/distribution costs are at the SKU level.
Our collaborative and strategic examination includes predictive analytical modeling that will result in finding ways to grow revenue and profits in existing and new markets and to compete better with improved customer service. Results from this approach can be significant and help formulate an action plan for an entire year plus.
At TSC, we get to understand your entire supply chain & distribution: procurement, production, returns, inventory management, systems and warehouses or outsourced facilities and freight-transportation spend and will work collaboratively with your team to improve upon your overall strategy.
