What are Your Reporting Systems Missing?
WHAT TRADITIONAL REPORTING SYSTEMS TELL YOU
Most traditional reporting systems report aggregated sales and financial data, i.e. “We sold $400M of Product X. Our warehousing costs were Y. Our transport costs were Z.”
​
WHAT TRADITIONAL REPORTING SYSTEMS DON’T TELL YOU
Most traditional reporting systems don’t break down the warehousing and transport costs for specific customers and products.
​
WHAT A COST TO SERVE ANALYSIS TELLS YOU
Our detailed cost-to-serve analyses highlight the profitability of each customer and product precisely. Using the results of these analyses, our cost-to-serve consultants identify profit leaks and recommend steps to reduce costs and boost profitability.
A Customer or Product Could be Unprofitable, Without You Even Knowing!
Perhaps it’s time to get a handle on your cost to serve, target the customers and products that cost you the most, and start taking steps to make them more profitable.
For 30 years our cost-to-serve consultants located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Thailand, and Vietnam have been diagnosing supply chain cost-to-serve performance in all major industries.
