SUPPLY CHAIN CONSULTANCY THAT DRIVES REAL RESULTS
Your Supply Chain Drives your Customer Promise and your Bottom Line
In a world of geopolitical uncertainty, tightening margins and growing sustainability obligations, that pressure is only increasing. The businesses that thrive are those treating their supply chain as a strategic asset, not an operational afterthought.
Our supply chain consultants are here to help you make that happen. Our team turn complexity into clarity, and supply chain fragility into genuine competitive strength.
Helping you Drive an Optimised End-to-End Supply Chain
The Team here at ASCALi is here to help you optimise the flow of goods and materials both upstream and downstream to ensure your business delivers its cost and service priorities.
Optimising an end-to-end supply chain demands more than theoretical knowledge. It requires hard-earned experience across real operations, under real pressure, with an honest appreciation of where supply chains actually break down. ASCALi brings exactly that, working alongside clients to diagnose, design and deliver improvement across every dimension of supply chain performance:
- Identifying root causes of cost, inefficiency and service failure.
- Redesigning procurement, logistics and distribution processes that have outgrown their original design.
- Bridging the gap between strategic intent and operational reality.
- Supporting implementation through to measurable, sustainable results.
- Building internal capability so improvements stick long after we leave.
Our Consultants deliver hard benefits. In one case, our Consultants led a programme that saved SABMiller >$25m from its annual Supply Chain Costs.
Developing the Best Supply Chain Planning Strategies
Great Supply Chains require Great Planning. The process can seem complex and challenging but ASCALi are here to help you navigate a path to Supply Chain Success.
World-class supply chain planning doesn’t happen by installing software. It requires the right processes, the right data and the right organisational behaviours working in harmony. Yet for many businesses, planning remains fragmented, reactive and disconnected from commercial reality.
ASCALi brings proven expertise across the full planning spectrum, helping businesses build planning functions that are truly integrated and forward-looking:
- Designing and implementing S&OP processes that align commercial and operational plans.
- Building mature Integrated Business Planning frameworks that connect strategy with execution.
- Developing forecasting capability that combines statistical rigour with commercial judgement.
- Improving data quality and system utilisation to support better planning decisions.
- Embedding the organisational behaviours that sustain planning excellence over time.
Great planning drives alignment from the boardroom to the shop floor. ASCALi gives businesses the processes, capability and credibility to make that a reality.
Great Supply Chains need the right physical operating solutions
Our Team of Expert Consultants can help you to get the right balance between service and cost across your distribution network.
Even the most sophisticated supply chain strategy ultimately depends on physical operations that can actually deliver. Warehouses, distribution networks, transport solutions and fulfilment operations are where plans meet reality, and where poorly designed infrastructure erodes margin, service levels and competitive advantage.
ASCALi helps businesses get the physical supply chain right, working across every dimension that determines operational performance:
- Designing distribution networks that balance cost, speed and service
- Optimising warehouse layouts, flows and capacity utilisation
- Modelling fulfilment operations to meet demand efficiently and at scale
- Aligning transport solutions with cost targets and customer expectations
- Identifying infrastructure constraints before they become competitive liabilities

Let ASCALi help you optimise your inventory to improve service levels and cut cost of capital
Keeping too much cash tied up in inventory is one thing. Tying it up in the wrong things is even worse. Our Inventory consultants can work with you to optimise your inventories and develop great inventory strategies.
Too much inventory costs money. Too little loses customers. Most businesses are struggling with both simultaneously in different parts of their operation.
ASCALi brings the analytical expertise and practical experience to find the right balance, helping clients:
- Reduce excess stock and free up working capital
- Eliminate chronic out-of-stock and service failure patterns
- Build robust safety stock and reorder point policies
- Improve supplier lead time management and its impact on inventory
- Embed the processes and behaviours that sustain improvement over time
Better inventory management isn’t just an operational win — it directly strengthens your margin, your cashflow and your customer relationships.
Setting the right product Categorisation
We have specifically developed our own SKUBE® model to help our clients maximise their supply chain opportunities by understanding how their producs behave relative to their demand levels and commercial value.
Most businesses look at their products in one or two dimensions. ASCALi’s proprietary SKUBE® model goes further, analysing your entire SKU portfolio in three dimensions to reveal how products behave physically, commercially and operationally in ways traditional analysis simply misses.
SKUBE® gives clients the clarity to:
- Accurately categorise and segment products and suppliers.
- Locate stock in the right places across their warehouse network.
- Set safety and buffer stock levels with far greater precision.
- Understand the true impact of product gross margin on inventory strategy.
- Cut stock-outs, reduce excess inventory and free up working capital.
Delivered in under two weeks, SKUBE® turns complex product data into clear, high-impact decisions. To see more about our model, please click here, or talk to ASCALi now to book a free 30 minute consultation to help us to help you create a great supply chain.
