STRATEGIC BY DESIGN

Phased Approach

  • Diagnosis

    We start high level in this foundational stage as we work to understand your operations and identify efficiency opportunities. Through a deep dive into your operations and business strategy, while understanding budgetary constraints, we are able to narrow our focus on opportunities that have the greatest business impact. At that point, we’re able to provide input into the investment required to bring the identified opportunities to fruition.

    Some companies come to us with these already identified. Others recognize there are better ways to operate but are not certain on what opportunities exist or where to begin.

    We look at all aspects of the process to understand factors such as supply constrains, equipment and personnel capacity, capital requirements and budgetary restrictions, among many others.

  • Solution Identification

    After the diagnostic phase, we identify the appropriate solution to maximize efficiency while minimizing costs. We consider the constraints identified, along with budget requirements, to make sure we target a solution tailored to your company’s needs.

    Examples are routing software, geographic analytics, customer mapping and insights, demand forecasting, or equipment and employee requirement models based on these demand forecasts or growth targets.

  • Implementation

    Once the solution is agreed upon, we begin implementation either in its entirety or with a chosen technological partner. As the implementation progresses, we monitor the impact to your company and work to align the long-term vision with the arrival these newly implemented tools.

    An example would be software designed to optimize vehicle routing. We suggest the software best suited for your needs in the previous phase, then work alongside the software partner to ensure the focus remains on the identified opportunity and your company’s vision. Upon our partner’s successful implementation of the software, we help to fine tune the tool to the specific scenario as we ensure a positive ROI.

  • Analytics & Continuous Improvement

    Once the solution is fully functioning, we apply our advanced analytics and reporting tools to monitor the realization of the targeted opportunities. These analyses are provided to you while also pointing out ways to put insights into action. Additionally, the analyses will evolve alongside your operations and we will be with you throughout this journey.

    Insights can include, but are not limited to, automated frequency reporting (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) with historical views and projections, on demand reporting, and dynamic on-demand tools that allow you to fully analyze the micro and macro perspective from any direction.

    Harnessing the power of data is where our partnership with you is proven. This is where doors open to further opportunities as we zoom the lens out to the macro perspective and develop a plan for the future.
