Gone are the days of sales pitches and presentations. Today’s supply chain consultants are laser-focused on fast-tracking a supply chain from struggling to success. Leading the charge is Extolla, a specialised supply chain solutions provider where ‘end-to-end’ is not just talked about, but actually delivered.
“Many companies initially question the need for a consultant, but when they see the bottom- line improvements across their supply chain and happier customers, the value is obvious,” says Extolla CEO Peter Kendall.
Extolla works on a “C-I-O” formula – Consult, Implement, Operate – going beyond an advisory role to make supply chain changes happen, including training staff in new systems for long-term operational success.
“Whatever we recommend, we implement ourselves rather than leave you with a deck of presentation slides. This “skin in the game” approach means our clients have a supply chain producing fantastic outcomes with no wasted resources or time,” says Peter.
According to Extolla, here are five critical reasons businesses are using a supply chain consultant right now – and why you cannot afford to miss out:
