SSM Group's Consultancy Services strives to aid clients in meeting their customer service needs, while at the same time addressing the critical issues detailed above through the application of best practices in logistics management and technology.

Focusing strongly on people development and raising client levels of education and awareness of supply chain strategies, SSM Group conducts complete assessments of the supply chain itself, as well as assessments of logistics elements within the supply chain. According to the requirements of the client, stages of the consulting process can be conducted in isolation, or as a wide ranging package of services.

SSM Group's Consultancy Services take into account the hands-on nature of the supply chain world. While backed by leading edge technology, SSM Group engages with clients in a personal environment, and on all levels – from physical visits to warehouses and brown paper assessments to technology driven supply chain re-design.

People are a key element of SSM Group's Consultancy Services offerings. A through skills-gap assessment and the formulation of a people development programme forms an intrinsic part of our consulting process.

SSM Group's Consultancy Services are driven by three key factors, which govern the entire consulting process. People, processes and technology are the definitive elements of supply chain strategy and management. SSM Group Consultancy Services ensures that these three elements are central to the analysis of all client companies.

There are many constituent parts that make up an effective supply chain. The consulting process can be conducted with a focus on distinct areas of the supply chain, or it can focus on the logical analysis of all the elements within the chain.
