Supply Chain

To create a competitive advantage, your supply chain strategy must focus on the business objectives it has the potential to impact most. Working closely with your teams, EFESO translates strategic ambition into supply chain direction – and from direction into measurable action.

Our approach starts by achieving supply chain strategy alignment, using a proven framework to make competitive priorities operational. We clarify how your supply chain can best support your business model, then identify the critical capabilities needed.

Next, we conduct supply chain diagnostics to assess current maturity, costs and service levels. These insights shape a future-ready supply chain operating model design, defining the optimal structure, flows and governance incl. the right set of KPIs. To ensure progress is achievable and paced for impact, we co-develop a prioritized supply chain roadmap definition.

To bring strategy into day-to-day execution, we zoom in on supply chain tactics. Our experts work with you to design optimal flows and infrastructure through supply chain network design, selecting the right number, scope and location of sites based on service lead time, capacity and cost-to-serve.

Together we then reduce margin leakage and complexity via product and customer portfolio optimization, helping you manage the mix that truly matters. For cost transparency and decision-making clarity, cost-to-serve optimization provides the visibility to refine your value proposition. We also drive performance improvement and cost effectiveness through targeted cost reduction initiatives. And with working capital optimization, we balance service, inventory and payment terms to unlock cash and enhance operational agility

What sets EFESO apart is our ability to accompany your journey from boardroom ambition to operational transformation. Our clients choose us not only for our strategy expertise, but for the tangible results we co-deliver – grounded in analytics, enabled by people and sustained over time.

When supply chains fail to anticipate market demands, organizations pay the price in missed sales, excess inventories and overwhelmed teams. EFESO helps you to take control with planning capabilities that connect strategy to execution and align demand with supply.

Our team brings deep experience in designing and implementing sales & operations Planning (S&OP) and integrated business planning (IBP) processes. We help you to synchronize business functions around shared assumptions, translating demand signals into jointly agreed, actionable plans.

To maintain that alignment in fast-changing environments, we also take care of sales & operations execution (S&OE) – ensuring short-term responsiveness without losing sight of long-term priorities.

We begin every transformation with a structured supply chain exploration, mapping your maturity, segmenting planning requirements and pinpointing where and how to improve. From there, we develop your supply chain planning target picture and process design. This involves defining future planning organizations, roles & responsibilities, workflows and IT needs – covering the whole supply chain planning landscape from strategic and tactical aspects, down to operational planning and execution.

For successful transformations, technology plays a critical role – but only when it fits your business. EFESO supports you in supply chain planning software evaluation, helping you to select the right advanced planning system (APS) for your reality. Once selected, we lead supply chain planning process & software implementation, leveraging our hands-on IT-system knowledge and combining agile delivery methods with extensive change management expertise.

Our strength lies in integration – linking planning to business decisions, embedding capabilities across teams, and managing the human dynamics of a transformation. Through business integration, transformation and change management, we ensure engagement, adoption and results that stick. And we lay the data foundation for success through (supply chain) master data management, improving overall data quality, governance and sustainability.

The result: A planning function that anticipates rather than reacts. Empowered people, robust processes and tools that drive real outcomes. That’s how we plan for impact – together.</p>

Every product your customers receive reflects the performance of your logistics and fulfillment operations. EFESO helps you turn these critical moments into consistent, effective and customer-centric experiences.

We begin by transforming the physical backbone of your operation through warehouse design and optimization. Whether expanding capacity, improving flow or integrating automation, we redesign warehouse operations to support growth and reduce waste – enhancing both cost efficiency and service levels.

Transportation is often your largest logistics cost – and one of the most complex to manage. With our transport management and spend optimization services, we uncover hidden inefficiencies and reset the operating model. From route optimization to TMS implementation, we reduce spend while improving reliability.

Customer expectations continue to rise. EFESO helps you adapt through customer service transformation, aligning service levels to strategic customer segments. We analyze activities, redesign organizations, and digitize processes to enhance experience and reduce overhead.

To ensure logistics supports broader strategic goals, we also address key structural decisions such as distribution network design, multichannel management, and Make or Buy strategies – aligning operational choices with business priorities.

Across all three building blocks, we integrate operational excellence principles with digital enablement and change leadership. Our difference lies in our pragmatic, co-implementation approach – partnering with your teams, applying our assessment tools and benchmark libraries, and achieving visible, lasting gains.

Clients choose EFESO not just for logistics expertise but because we align logistics with business value – accelerating fulfillment, freeing working capital and improving customer experience. Together, we make logistics a source of competitive strength, not just a cost center.
