Our vision

Many supply chains have a lack of resilience to changing circumstances. Exponential technological development, sustainability challenges and ongoing globalization are additional drivers for disruption and change. Despite all improvement efforts and technology improvements, improvement efforts in supply chain have led to very progress in process maturity and performance.

We believe that we need to build future fit supply chains that integrate resiliency, sustainability and effectiveness but always in a profitable way. We don’t need to see environmental and social developments as a threat but need to embrace it to boost profit. In this journey we need digital Technology as a driver for optimization but even more so as an enabler for transformation.

Our mission

Create supply chains and planning processes that enable better decisions for people, planet and profit and result in breakthrough performance

Our values

Solve complex issues by analyzing and structuring information, and visualizing causes and solutions in a simple and easy way.

Create clear and fact-based opinions by asking the right questions to thoroughly understanding the issues and use latest insights.

Actively engaging with people and building  network by listening well, bringing ideas together and by showing genuine interest and empathy.

Deliver results by a structured way of working, creating clear focus on end result, defining priorities and acting on them.
