Supply chain planning

Create a robust, efficient, and agile distribution network

The world of logistics has been impacted by a decade of disruption.

Today, it’s a top priority for supply chains to run robustly and smoothly – paving the way for lower costs and minimised risks.

Effective strategic decision making is critical. How many distribution centres? Where should they be located? What size or fleet makeup is optimal? How do we account for changes in customer demand? How should we react to new trends such as EVs or PUDOs? What happens if there is another huge event, such as COVID or Brexit? Making key decisions is difficult to get right.

Effective distribution network planning involves testing a myriad of scenarios and moving parts to provide realistic, data-driven answers. Our solutions create a digital twin of your network so you can easily make the big decisions that have maximum impact.

Burdened with distribution options?

Knowing how many distribution points you need – and where – can be complex.

Overloaded with supply chain costs?

You’re not alone. It’s easy for supply chain costs to spiral out of control.

Worried your supply chain isn’t fit for purpose?

You need a robust and agile distribution network to keep products flowing to their destinations.

Minimise risk

When obstacles arise, you need to react and keep your business running normally. Optimal supply chain planning can help manage risk and keep you efficient.

Carry out simulation before investment

Create a digital twin of your distribution network and get insight into your current supply chain and any potential changes. Assess many different scenarios with reliable data on the necessary flows, storage, vehicles, and cost, so you can make informed decisions before you invest.

Meet the green agenda

Hit ESG targets with supply chain planning that lowers carbon emissions. Because when distribution networks are optimal, unnecessary detours are avoided.
