Supply Chain & Operations Audit

Fractional COO Services

Overview

A supply chain strategy consultant for brands whose supply chain was built for a smaller company than the one they now run. The setup that worked at $5M quietly caps you at $30M: one supplier, one freight arrangement, one warehouse, and no plan for what breaks next.

We build the strategy and the operation underneath it: sourcing that is not a single point of failure, freight that is competitively tendered, inventory that matches demand, and a 3PL that scales with you. Not a strategy deck, the actual operating structure, installed.

Same operator, focused on the whole chain rather than one link. And if the free call says you need something narrower, we will tell you that too.

Process

Define

A direct conversation about where the business is heading and where the supply chain will break first. Growth plans, new markets, new channels, and the operational risks between here and there.

Assess

We map the full chain: suppliers, sourcing geography, freight lanes and rates, inventory, 3PL, and landed cost. An honest view of the single points of failure and the money leaking through them.

Advise

A prioritised strategy: what to fix now, what to build for the next stage, and what it is worth. Where relevant, a written roadmap the business can act on independently.

Support

We implement the pieces that need an operator, supplier diversification, a freight tender, a 3PL transition, or stay available as the strategy rolls out.

Deliverables

Sourcing and Supplier Strategy

Supplier concentration is a risk most brands only see when it fails. We build a sourcing strategy that removes single points of failure and diversifies geography, with the supplier framework to hold it.

Sourcing and Supplier Strategy

Freight and Landed Cost Strategy

Freight competitively tendered and landed cost modelled properly, sea versus air, lane by lane, so the cost base reflects the best available rather than the arrangement you inherited.

Inventory and Demand Alignment

The strategy is only as good as the stock behind it. We align inventory and demand planning to the growth plan so availability supports sales rather than throttling them.

3PL and Fulfilment Structure

The right fulfilment structure for where you are heading, single or multi-node, domestic or cross-border, selected and set up to scale rather than re-solved every year.

US and Cross-Border Expansion

Launching into a new market breaks a supply chain built for one. Having built and run chains across the US, UK and EU, we set the operational side up correctly from the start.
