From planning to execution, we are right there with you to make it happen
Our packages support clients to implement Dynamic Food Procurement and more sustainable short food supply chains wherever they are.
#1 RATIONALE
Business Case Preparation
We assess your business for the adoption of Dynamic Food Procurement and short supply chains.
This assessment shows where we can bring both significant cost savings and efficiency increases as well as help improve you to achieve your ESG objectives and regulatory compliance.
#2 PLAN
Mobilization
We liaise with key members of your organisation to ensure their support and discuss the positive changes we will bring and how we will help you implement them.
We create a programme of work which can be run internally with our full support, training and governance where required.
Data collection is integrated at this stage in order to build a suite of KPIs to reflect progress and the realisation of benefits.
#3 DELIVER
Software Deployment & Integration
Using our AgileChain software to replace, or work with, any current systems, we ensure integrations prioritise business continuity and are sensitive to organisation culture.
Support is provided to tweak processes, along with ongoing training.
#4 OPTIMISE
Operational Efficiencies
Ongoing support is provided as new staff are onboarded and current employees upskilled post deployment. Coaching and support are provided to all relevant teams and departments to maximise efficiencies from adoption of Dynamic Food Procurement and short food supply chains.
Our approach
We are a team of specialized consultants who focus on creating efficient and sustainable short food supply chains. With over a decade of experience, we excel at designing, building, and optimizing systems for Dynamic Food Procurement and short supply chain infrastructure.
Our approach revolves around collaboration and tailoring solutions to meet the unique requirements of each participant in the chain: producers, suppliers, logistics providers, procurers, chefs, and diners. By optimizing business processes, we drive positive changes throughout the chain.
We work closely with our clients during shifts in their food procurement practices, supporting them through the changes without seeking to replace or outsource their activities.
Our process involves crafting a customized business case aligned with the client's needs and objectives. Once the internal adoption is secured, we create a comprehensive plan to integrate Dynamic Food Procurement into the core of the client's operations. Our tool of choice, AgileChain, helps bring these benefits to life.
Our expertise extends across both public and private organizations, providing guidance to a diverse range of clients across various catering sectors.
Who we work with
