A well-designed, seamlessly functioning supply chain is vital for a company’s success. In addition to driving cost optimisation, it also provides a business with better agility, operational efficiency and resilience against market changes as well as impacting business reputation and growth by creating stronger customer relationships.
At Vendigital we combine multi-disciplinary consulting expertise with our proprietary digital platform – through our Insights360 methodology – to transform clients’ cost bases at pace and deliver benefits to their bottom line. We have significant experience of delivering complex supply chain programmes at the coal face, working with clients to both set the strategy and deliver the solution, consistently achieving measurable and sustainable outcomes. In addition, collaboration is at the heart of how we operate – we create genuine partnerships with our clients while building mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers.
Today’s supply chains have become hugely complex, with many moving parts that differ across industry sectors. However, through leveraging our operational capability and extensive sector-specific experience, we take a data-led approach to identifying opportunities for improvement and streamlining processes to develop a robust, optimised and operationally efficient supply chain that supports our clients’ business objectives.
Supply chains are the lifeblood of every business. Therefore, maximising best practice creates far-reaching benefits, including:
By conducting an in-depth analysis of every aspect of a client’s supply chain, from network strategy to quality control, our consultants identify opportunities to improve product and material flow creating a more effective supply chain. Through enhancements to information flow between parts of the supply chain, communication improves while maximising the performance and output of each element. In addition, through an effective working capital strategy our clients can improve cash flow and balance liquidity with growth while driving efficiency.
Our comprehensive review of a client’s supply chain highlights areas of weakness or potential points of failure. These issues may include under-performing suppliers, inefficient logistics or potential bottlenecks at various stages. With this data-backed insight, we create strategic adjustments to drive performance, mitigate risks and ensure our clients’ supply chains are agile and resilient to any market challenges. Importantly, we create embedded and sustainable change, meaning supply chains are fit for purpose both today and in the future.
Beyond efficiency, supply chains need to be sustainable both in terms of long-term growth and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) standards. Through data analytics and insight generation we help clients understand their current position against ESG targets, anticipate risks and develop operational improvements to reduce any negative impact on both the business and the environment. Integrating sustainability into supply chain operations over the long-term can help reduce regulatory risk, increase innovation and improve a business’s reputation.
Optimise your supply chain
At Vendigital, we recognise the intricacies involved with supply chain networks and appreciate not only that each industry faces specific challenges but also that every business is different too. Our supply chain consultants have direct, operational experience across multiple sectors. This ensures that we a have deep understanding of sector-specific requirements and solutions rather than relying on generic or formulaic approaches to optimise performance and improve cost outcomes.
The path from supplier to customer can be complex, global and subject to a number of external factors. We take a collaborative approach to how we deliver, working closely with our clients’ teams and engaging directly with suppliers and other stakeholders to strengthen relationships. We work alongside our clients to shape the strategic vision and translate this into operational actions, ensuring supply chains are optimised, sustainable and robust in the face of changing pressures.
Furthermore, harnessing powerful insights from our proprietary digital platform enables us to transform data into actionable, operational intelligence and drive insights across every aspect of the supply chain. These are embedded into working practices, so improvements are sustained rather than one-off, ensuring the entire supply chain functions smoothly and efficiently long-term.
Whether you’re looking to make longer-term strategic cost decisions or drive operational efficiencies at pace, we work as part of your team to deliver quantifiable results.
Sales & operations planning (S&OP)
Working alongside a client's sales and operations teams, our consultants collate and analyse data, taking a cross-functional approach to provide actionable insights with the aim of aligning activity business-wide – including sales, operations, marketing, procurement, manufacturing and finance – to ensure supply is matched cohesively with demand.
Working capital
Accurately managing working capital is vital for ensuring a company has the necessary cash flow for its short-term financial obligations. At Vendigital, we provide the tools and expertise needed for companies to assess their working capital and work within various departments to improve cash flow and ensure a business is in a strong and sustainable financial position.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
ESG has become increasingly significant as expectations heighten for businesses to conduct their operations in an ethically and morally sound manner. Analysing the areas in which a company can improve their ESG impact, our consultants can recommend and help implement strategies that enhance its long-term value, and its investment and growth potential.
Supply chain risk and resilience
In an economic climate with enhanced challenges and complexities across global supply chains, the operational risk has multiplied. Vendigital can help clients uncover their supply chain vulnerabilities and build flexibility and resilience into their operations to avoid disruption and subsequent loss of profit.
Network strategy
With rapid fluctuations in supply and demand, a company must evaluate its network strategy regularly. Our consultants can put in place effective data analysis methods across the supply chain to ensure that the output from every area is maximised and connections are seamless for optimal efficiency.
Quality management
A focus on quality management across the supply chain is critical for maximising a company's profitability and long-term growth. We can implement industry-specific workflows and technologies to assess product quality and monitor supplier performance, maintaining the highest standards and ensuring customer satisfaction with the end product.
