Optimizing your supply chain  

You need to implement a Supply Chain strategy that fits your company goals, and navigate new market realities like new tariffs, shortages, transport disruptions, etc. 

To achieve this, you need to rely on a senior team (which you may not have) or external consultants (who are often out of budget), while your team struggles to find the time to work on the strategy and implement it effectively.

Supplier management  

Supplier performance (quality, cost, delivery, service, innovation support) is critical for meeting online customer expectations. 

Your team might not always use best practices to select, negotiate, onboard, and manage suppliers, a common practice in larger organizations. 

This can be due to a lack of experience, limited access to the right frameworks, or missing a clear overview of all the moving parts involved in procurement management.

Inventory mgmt, warehouse & fulfillment

Planning inventory ad hoc, without following the correct frameworks, stresses your cash flow, increases inventory costs, and risks excess stock.

Overlooking 3PL requirements or being unaware of negotiation options with 3PLs risks inventory availability, customer satisfaction, and increases costs.

Your team might not use the same approach as large enterprises do for planning and managing your 3PLs due a lack of easy access to experienced professionals or resources.

Implementing changes 

Implementing changes to improve your supply chain can go wrong when:

• You define the wrong strategy to achieve your company goals.

• You lack a roadmap to implement the needed changes.

• The team lacks the resources, focus, or visibility to push through and implement the changes.

• Team cross-functional collaboration is not effective.
