Best-fit distribution provider"What we most valued was the opportunity to model alternatives and their different cost implications and benefits. The consultants also had an impressive knowledge of the third-party logistics market." John Davis, Jenks Sales Brokers Jenks, a major sales & marketing company operating on behalf of consumer goods companies, wished to change their third party distributor provider as they were not meeting their service requirements. The Consultancy Company helped them model alternative solutions and recommended a switch from shared user to a dedicated solution; identifying potential service providers and managing a tender process. The result was the selection of a more appropriate provider able to achieve a higher and more consistent service level for the same cost. |

Reducing costs“Excellent result. We are very pleased.” Three Cooks, a fast food and bakery retail organisation, asked The Consultancy Company to help improve its profitability by re-engineering its cost base by creating and implementing integrated purchasing, warehousing and distribution processes. This resulted in the total cost of delivered product falling from 16.6% to 11% of turnover. Full transition from old systems to new were achieved within three months with significant cost savings generated from day-one. Delivery frequency was increased to daily with resultant decrease in storage space, increase in in-store sales area and improved product freshness. Read more |
Outsourced operations"The support offered by The Consultancy Company has been of the highest quality". With the development of flat screen TVs, significant changes in product mix and a more dynamic market place, Sony UK required a different warehousing and distribution solution in order to maintain high service levels to their retail customers. The new solution also needed to be more flexible and asset light. The Consultancy Company was asked to identify and model alternative solutions. This resulted in an outsourced warehouse operation and significant transport changes. Our consultants managed the tender and selection process and our extensive knowledge of the third party logistics sector ensured high quality bids. Sony and their customers now benefit from a cost-effective distribution solution that provides both quality and flexibility. |
