The deployment of LEO takes typically 30 days from end to end, depending on data availability

It is project managed into the formal state of deployment and there are a range of strict requirements that are needed to enact on the start date

The tool can be compatible with any supplier, any currency, any language and any timezone

It will be deployed locally or on a network server

It is delivered in Power BI with full database backup

It will also validate other aspects of the supply chain that are not mentioned here, such as looking at FTL efficiency, considering warehouse location or picking capacity.

We require, high level to consider:

Data that is in a format we can manipulate, so CSV, Excel, Access, Numbers, PDF

We require invoice level data and delivery completion data

We need internal customer data from the EPR system (Batnet if SAP, AsScope if Dynamics, Sceptre if Navisphere etc)

We require rate cards, contracts other factors of agreements with suppliers

Interviews with the leading team

Once we have the data we will…

Review and confirm the data is in the correct format and we can use it.

Ensure that the data is cleansed (naming conventions, spelling, duplications removed etc).

Provide the data as an output from the tool once its live

Review the data against the matrix agreed (vs rate card, vs activity)

Review the service data against the service KPI agreement

Where multiple suppliers are used for multi-modal services we can be sure to validate this too

Where there are specific requirements for us to fulfil such as certain optimisation processes or reviews this will be pre-agreed before building

The tool will be ready when we agree it will be up-front and accessible to all users agreed to be part of the deployment

In some cases 100% ROI

In all cases clear governance, 100% audibility, invoices will be checked and costs will be recovered

Service will be validated and provided

where agreed we will provide loss and damage recovery processing

Manage warehouse activities and provide daily, weekly, monthly reporting on stock holding, stock turning and inventory management in general

A smarter and cleaner way of managing suppliers

Optimisation options in every tool are provided

Project based engagements operate on the basis of agreeing work and any outcomes or milestones for delivery in advance of commencement of any engagement in a ‘Statement of Work’. Prices are fixed for the agreed deliverables and should changes be required, these may incur changes to delivery costs. Payment for Project Based Engagements are agreed on a case-by-case basis, giving consideration to risk, contract value, client payment history, relationship longevity and duration.
