Filling operational gaps and driving supply chain improvements at Xandres

Challenge

Xandres was facing a temporary operational gap within their supply chain team. Our team was brought in to ensure business continuity and provide interim support. Beyond covering day-to-day operations, we also focused on identifying areas for improvement and optimization within the supply chain function.

Solution

In the initial phase, our primary objective was to ensure continuity in day-to-day supply chain activities. While managing operations, we reviewed existing processes to identify practical improvements.

We reorganized the stock sales event, which led to clearer insights into pricing, promotional strategies, and inventory management. This helped Xandres prepare more effectively for future sales. We also improved reporting on daily deliveries to retail distribution points, giving better visibility into orders and deliveries per client.

During the sales period, we optimized the process for monitoring performance in both physical stores and online. We developed a reporting tool to track high-stock items and sales numbers more efficiently, supporting faster decisions on discount adjustments.

Results

Our interim engagement not only bridged a critical staffing gap but also delivered lasting value through the optimization of key supply chain processes. The improved reporting tools and root cause analyses we conducted create the foundation for more efficient and agile decision-making going forward.
