Maintaining high levels of customer service whilst carefully managing costs is paramount for SMEs. Nothing is more frustrating than having hard fought for brand recognition and good will damaged by a logistics glitch, whilst trying to establish market share.

At Davies & Robson we understand this. We also recognise that the scale of a business doesn’t always justify the expense of having logistics experience and knowledge in the senior management team.

To support SMEs with the challenges of both designing and running efficient, high performing supply chains we have developed a suite of cost-effective services designed to optimise smaller logistics operations.

In many cases the activities are the same as for larger operations but by appropriately combining the, otherwise discrete, components of the operation into a single on-site review exercise, we can offer preferential commercial terms, whilst still being able to conduct dedicated design consultancy if required. 

An initial review can quickly determine whether the scale of the issue is anything from the implementation of some simple KPIs to the outsourcing of the operation – as well as the order of magnitude benefits of doing so, and the cost and operational challenge of making the change.
