Services
Each component of our diagnostic targets a specific dimension of your supply chain. Together, they produce a complete and actionable picture of your current situation.
Active Supplier Review
We conduct a systematic review of every supplier your business currently works with. This is the foundation of the entire diagnostic — without a clear picture of who you're buying from and on what terms, the other analyses have no baseline.
The review covers the commercial relationship in full: pricing structure, payment terms, delivery lead times, contract duration, exclusivity clauses, and any informal arrangements that affect the actual cost of the relationship.
Market Price Benchmarking
Once we have a clear picture of what you're paying, we compare those prices against observable market rates for equivalent products and services. This comparison is done category by category, accounting for volume, quality specifications, and regional market conditions.
The goal is not to find the cheapest alternative — it's to give you an accurate reference point so you know whether your current prices are within normal range, above it, or significantly above it.
Payment & Delivery Term Evaluation
Payment terms and delivery lead times are often where significant value is left on the table — not because they're unreasonable in isolation, but because they haven't been reviewed in context of the business's actual cash flow and operational needs.
We evaluate your current terms against what's standard for your purchase volume and industry, and identify where adjustments could meaningfully improve your working capital position or operational flexibility.
Dependency Risk Analysis
Single-supplier dependency is one of the most common and underappreciated risks in SME supply chains. When a critical input comes from only one source, any disruption — price increase, delivery failure, relationship breakdown — directly impacts operations with no immediate alternative.
We map your supplier dependencies, identify which ones represent genuine operational risk, and document the context needed to have an informed conversation about whether diversification makes sense for each category.
