SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANCY THAT DELIVERS.

ASCALi’s supply chain consultants help businesses reduce costs, improve service and manage inventory more effectively. Our supply chain consulting services cover strategy, network design and operational improvement, with practical support from assessing your current performance through to implementing changes.

Your Supply Chain is the Beating Heart of your Business

Rising operating costs, unreliable service and too much stock can be signs that your supply chain no longer fits your business. Growth, changing customer expectations and new systems can add further pressure, making it harder to decide what to improve first.

Our supply chain consultancy helps you understand how these issues connect. We assess the flow of products, information and inventory across your operation, identify the causes of underperformance and develop practical recommendations around your commercial priorities. Whether you need a focused review or support with a wider change programme, our supply chain consultants can help you move from analysis to action.

Optimised Supply Chains Make for Profitable Businesses

Your Supply Chain ensures raw materials reach factories, products flow to customers, and global markets stay connected. Yet, managing them effectively has never been more complex.

Read more

Rising costs, geopolitical risks, scarcity of good workers and sustainability pressures demand smarter, more resilient supply chain strategies.

This is where our supply chain consultancy delivers value, helping our clients transform their supply chains into coherent platforms that drive growth, resilience, and efficiency.

Understanding Supply Chain Complexity

Not all supply chains are created equal. Some are relatively simple, with limited locations and straightforward processes. Others span thousands of touchpoints worldwide.

Read more

Your supply chain can span from raw material production and manufacturing to international logistics, secondary & tertiary distribution, and customer final mile delivery.

Overlaid onto the physical network are supply chain processes and systems—planning tools, ERP, and analytics platforms, that can add another layer of complexity.

Without optimisation, this complex array of factors can become inefficient, costly, and vulnerable to disruption.

Future Proofing your Supply Chain

The pace of change means tomorrow’s supply chains will look very different from today’s (and it is not just about AI !). You must consider a whole range of things that can impact your solution.

Read more

Businesses must prepare for:

  • Digital Transformation: AI, IoT, and blockchain enabling real-time supply chain visibility.
  • Predictive Analytics: Smarter demand sensing and proactive planning.
  • Sustainability as Standard: Regulations and customer expectations making green supply chains a requirement, not an option.
  • Nearshoring & Regionalisation: Reducing dependency on single geographies to increase resilience.

Forward-thinking companies that act now will gain a lasting competitive advantage.

HOW OUR SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANCY WORKS

Every engagement starts with the decisions your business needs to make. We agree the scope around your priorities, available information and the support required. Our approach can include:

Read more
  1. Conduct a supply chain audit. Gather and review relevant operational data with your team to understand current performance, constraints, risks and areas of inefficiency.
  2. Define your business priorities. Agree which outcomes matter most, such as cost reduction, customer service, growth, resilience or sustainability, and prioritise the opportunities to investigate.
  3. Design and implement improvements. Develop practical options, assess the expected benefits and implementation requirements, and plan the agreed changes with support from the ASCALi team.
  4. Measure and adapt. Review agreed performance measures, assess the results and refine the approach as your operation and business requirements change.

Frequently Asked Questions

ARE YOU SUPPLY CHAIN EXPERTS?
Yes, we have over 20 years’ experience of delivering supply, chain, optimisation, design and implementation programmes for a range of customers across the UK and Europe. We pride ourselves on our expertise to deliver the right supply chain solutions for our clients, large or small.
CAN YOU HELP US WITH OUR END-TO-END SUPPLY CHAIN?
Yes, we can help you develop streamlined end to end solutions from point of raw material supply through manufacture to secondary and tertiary distribution and final mile delivery. Our expert team of consultants are fully conversant with achieving optimal supply chain solutions for organisations, both large and small.
WHAT DO SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANTS DO?
Supply chain consultants assess how products, information and inventory move through a business. At ASCALi, we identify performance gaps, compare improvement options and help turn the findings into practical recommendations and, where required, an implementation plan.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTING AND LOGISTICS CONSULTING?
Supply chain consulting looks at the wider operation, from supply and production through inventory and customer delivery. Logistics consulting focuses more specifically on the movement, storage and distribution of goods. The right scope depends on the business problem you need to solve.
CAN YOU HELP US CUT INVENTORY?
Yes, our supply chain specialists are fully conversant in all the latest inventory management techniques to help you and your organisation get the right level of inventory to meet your customer service aspirations in the most cost-effective way. We can help you identify the correct levels of stock and safety stock based upon your network, supply base and your operating needs to ensure that you develop solutions that provide the optimal capacity to meet your customer needs as well as limit the amount of capital tied up within the business.
CAN YOU HELP US WITH PRODUCT CATEGORISATION AND CLASSIFICATION?
This has become a real specialist area of our business. We have invested in our proprietary SKUBE® application that provides us unrivalled ability to take the standard ’3 x 3’ matrix approach to product categorisation and deploy a whole new dimension of evaluation, that considers factors that many ignore into the product categorisation process. We can help you distil your product sets down into a much more granular level of detail to enable optimal supply chain choices.
WHEN SHOULD A BUSINESS USE A SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANCY?
A review can be useful when costs are rising, service is unreliable, inventory is difficult to control or growth has put pressure on the current operation. It can also support decisions about new facilities, systems or changes to your distribution model.
WHAT DOES A SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANCY PROJECT INCLUDE?
The scope depends on your priorities. It can include an audit of the current operation, agreement on business priorities, development and implementation of improvements, and a review of performance against the agreed measures.
