Supply Chain Design

Designing Resilient Supply Chains

We help you build supply chains that can flex with demand shifts, serve diverse channel requirements, and scale without breaking. Our design approach balances service levels, cost-to-serve, and operational feasibility — with solutions that stick, not just model.

Typical Problems we solve

Fragmented planning and execution across supply chain functions

Warehousing and logistics setups that limit throughput and flexibility

High landed costs due to suboptimal network design

Inability to respond quickly to demand volatility or channel shifts

Lack of integration between supply chain strategy and ground realities


Our Approach

We don’t treat supply chain design as a modeling exercise — we’ve run these operations ourselves. Our approach blends operational experience, data-driven diagnostics, and collaborative design to deliver solutions that work in the real world.


How we work?

End-to-end diagnostics across planning, warehousing, and distribution

Scenario modeling for cost, service level, and expansion trade-offs

Pilot implementations and planning councils to ensure adoption

Deep dives into operational edge cases and exceptions that often derail execution

Execution plans aligned with capex, org bandwidth, and ground constraints

Misalignment between demand and supply
Lack of discipline in planning cycles
Reactive decision-making

Deliverables

S&OP process blueprint
Inventory Strategy
Planning calendar and governance model
Forecasting and demand-supply balancing templates
KPI dashboard and exception alerts

Outcome

20–30% reduction in inventory holding
~50% improvement in forecast accuracy
35-50% improvement in OTIF%
15–25% faster time-to-market through reduced waiting days and improved freshness

2. Warehouse Design & Intralogistics

We conduct layout diagnostics and design, flow modeling, and automation feasibility studies. Our designs balance throughput, safety, and future scalability.

What it solves for?

Inefficient layouts and material flow
In-plant traffic congestion
Lack of automation readiness
Safety and compliance gaps

Deliverables

Optimized warehouse layout
WMS and automation readiness plan
Line feeding and line-side storage strategy
In-plant traffic and safety blueprint

Outcome

20–35% increase in warehouse throughput
Improved safety and space utilization
Enhanced automation readiness and flow efficiency

3. Global Network Design

We analyze your current footprint and model scenarios for cost, service, and expansion. Includes route planning, cluster-based distribution, and shipment frequency optimization.

What it solves for?

High logistics costs
Poor service levels in rural/urban areas
Inefficient routing and truck allocation
Lack of scalability in distribution

Deliverables

Network footprint strategy
Route and truck optimization plan
Cost-service trade-off model
Implementation roadmap

Outcome

10–25% reduction in logistics and warehousing costs
3–5% improvement in service levels across geographies

4. Future-fit Supply chain design

We design integrated supply chains that are agile, scalable, and channel-ready. Our approach blends planning, warehousing, and network design into a unified system — tailored for businesses navigating D2C, Q-commerce, and omnichannel growth.

What it solves for?

Fragmented supply chains struggling to serve both traditional and digital channels
Inability to meet rapid fulfillment expectations (e.g., Q-commerce, D2C)
High cost-to-serve in last-mile and urban delivery
Lack of integration between planning, warehousing, and distribution
Poor visibility and coordination across functions

Deliverables

End-to-end supply chain blueprint for omnichannel fulfillment
Micro-fulfillment and dark store network design
Inventory and replenishment strategy by channel
Last-mile logistics and partner playbook
Planning and execution integration roadmap
Cost-to-serve and service level trade-off model

Outcome

20–30% reduction in inventory holding
15–25% faster time-to-market through reduced waiting days and improved freshness
10–25% reduction in logistics and warehousing costs
20–35% increase in warehouse throughput
