The supply chain is a key part of the food and farming sector, and much like the rest of the sector, can benefit from targeted independent consultancy.

Our team of experts provide supply chain consultancy services to all parts of the supply chain, from primary producers and independent processors, to large international distributors.

What are supply chain services

 

With increasing pressure on the supply chain to be both resilient to market events and environmentally sustainable, it has never been more important to receive the best strategic advice. Our supply chain team can manage and audit suppliers, model market events, review existing practices, implement new strategies and facilitate knowledge exchange.

Due to the breadth of our expertise, we offer a full spectrum of supply chain services, providing an end-to-end service from strategy design through to implementation and project delivery.

 

Savills listened closely to our project requirements and worked collaboratively with us to meet tight deadlines. Their industry knowledge and range of experiences in research and practical onfarm advice was hugely valuable in meeting our brief, as was their ability to provide independent thinking and challenge assumptions.

Our services

Our supply chain services focus on four key areas:

Policy & Strategy

  • Advise and shape internal governance policy to assist in setting your overall strategy.
  • Establishing baselines, developing key performance indicators and creating sectorspecific standards.
  • Turning an existing strategy into deliverable actions with realistic timescales.

Modelling

  • Using data from your supply chain, we will model how different environmental, market, or policy changes will impact both you and your suppliers, helping you understand how your business will develop over time.
  • Identifying potential risks to your supply chain and the impact they may have, making your supply chain more resilient.

Supply chain audits

  • Ensuring that your supply chain complies with the business targets and policies.
  • Identifying potential key failure points in the supply chain.

Farmer benchmarking and knowledge exchange

  • Working with your supplies to gather data on their enterprises to benchmark their performance.
  • Facilitating knowledge exchange and education through peer-to-peer learning, training, newsletters and workshops.
