how we help
In these times of geopolitical uncertainty, a resilient and proactive supply chain is essential. Businesses can no longer rely on traditional, static supply chains to stay competitive. Instead, they need adaptable and agile supply chain management solutions that can evolve quickly to meet the challenges of disruption and change. At Efficio, we’ll work with you to build a resilient supply chain. One that evolves fast – whatever challenges lie ahead.
At Efficio, we offer comprehensive supply chain management consulting services, from strategic insights to hands-on implementation. Unlike many consulting firms, we go beyond simply advising on high-level strategies. As experienced supply chain practitioners, we partner closely with your team to implement effective, sustainable changes that bring tangible results to your operations.
Armed with practical insights garnered from our years of experience around the world, our global team brings a detailed knowledge of suppliers and supply chain dynamics globally to help you assess, identify, and map risks. Our digital platform and CarbonCube® also help you gain full supply chain transparency, effectively calculate supply chain emissions, set targets, and monitor supplier performance.
For us, this isn’t a one-off process. As risks are constantly changing, building a resilient supply chain has to be an ongoing evolution. Equipped with more than two decades of data, we have the tech, tools and insights to help you update processes, change cost structures, and track supply chains against ESG benchmarks.
Outbound networks are often prioritised as they directly impact customer satisfaction. However, there is a growing need to reinforce inbound networks and integrate upstream supply chains with adequate Incoterms.
Complex supply chains with multiple suppliers, facilities, and customer channels have made integrated planning strategies crucial. Likewise, shifting market trends and unexpected disruptions have raised the need for proactive scenario planning.
Inflation and global disruptions have raised supply continuity risks and costs for direct materials sourcing. To maintain stability and control costs, businesses must focus on key levers such as planning, inventory and replenishment optimisation.
Proactive supply chain and ESG risk assessment is essential for compliance, reputation, and investor confidence. Delivery of decarbonisation and other risk mitigation, such as tariffs or geographic risk, are now key priorities for market leaders.
