Measure Your Efficiency

Using our Customer Service oriented benchmarking tool you can see exactly how efficient your supply chain is in comparison to peers, and where you need to improve.

Our modelling will provide the key information you need to build an efficient supply chain model and achieve customer service excellence.

Cost To Serve

Cost to Serve provides visibility of all costs in your definition of the supply chain at ship-to level, typically aggregating costs by sales channel and account.

Utilising our Cost To Serve service will provide you with an understanding of true costs for each product and customer requirements for the following key benefits:

Monitor profile changes and potential margin erosion
Proactively pursue internal solutions to reduce costs
Manage customer requests to choose the lowest cost route
Negotiate from strength and measure compliance with approved pricing agreement

Transport Benchmarking

Our Gold Standard Index (GSI™) is a practical tool that will effectively and efficiently address the many challenges associated with transport benchmarking:

Am I getting value and quality of service for money?
How do I compare with peers and competitors?
Are my providers running their networks as effectively as they could be?
What should I be expecting to pay?

Membership & Events

Simply Supply Chain facilitate regular collaborative supplier forums and workshops, enabling suppliers to exchange information, discover best practice and discuss the common challenges of delivering excellent service and availability cost effectively to the major grocery retailers. 

"The Advantage Survey results were a real shock to us and it was clear that our focus was too internal. SSC helped us break down our business processes and understand how to match our customer requirements, developing a plan to re-align our team and build much better contacts and routines with our key customers."

Supply Chain Director, UK & ROI - John West

"Simply Supply Chain’s use of the Gold Standard allowed for an extremely clear analysis of the opportunities within our network. They did an excellent job of breaking down some complex (and often incomplete) data to identify a clear course of action and to point out a series of quick wins the group were able to take advantage of."

Europe Supply Chain Director - PZ Cussons

"The Drop & Drive group's approach in dealing with many challenging topics posed by supplying the top retailers 24/7 has always been very professional and dedicated to the cause, group confidentiality has always been of paramount importance, and the process improvements delivered along the journey have been extremely well managed, robust and sustainable."

Operations Director - Delamere Dairy

"I have worked with Jonathan and Simply Supply Chain for a number of years now on a number of activities and projects. They always bring great insights from across the FMCG world and provide fantastic visibility and solutions on relevant challenges across the industry. I would fully recommend getting involved with SSC to support growth of your supply chain."
