What capacity is required to support business growth over the next five years?
Logistics capacity planning models projected demand volumes against your current network, storage, transport and labour capability to identify when and where constraints will bite. SCCG builds a five-year capacity profile from your own order, inventory and transport data, showing which sites reach limits first and what expansion, relocation or outsourcing options resolve them.

What inventory should we hold and where?
Inventory positioning balances service level against holding cost by deciding how much stock sits centrally, regionally and forward in the network. SCCG analyses demand variability, lead times and service commitments by SKU and location, then models the inventory profile that meets your service targets at the lowest total cost to serve.

What facilities are required to optimise the logistics network?
Network design determines how many distribution centres you need, where they should sit and what each should do. SCCG models your customer demand, supplier flows and transport costs against alternative site configurations, quantifying the cost, service and carbon impact of each option before any property or capital commitment is made.

Where are the biggest opportunities to reduce logistics costs and improve efficiency?
The largest logistics savings usually sit in transport routing, load fill, carrier rates and the hidden cost of empty miles, rather than in headline warehouse rent. SCCG runs a cost-to-serve analysis that attributes true cost to each customer, product and route, then ranks the improvement opportunities by value and ease of delivery.

How resilient is the current logistics operation to future disruption and growth?
Logistics resilience is the ability to maintain service when demand spikes, a site fails or a carrier withdraws. SCCG stress-tests your network against these scenarios, identifies single points of failure across sites, carriers and suppliers, and recommends the contingency, dual-sourcing and capacity headroom needed to protect service levels.

How do we get better visibility across the supply chain?
Supply chain visibility means knowing where stock, orders and vehicles are at any point, so problems are caught before they reach the customer. SCCG assesses current visibility gaps and identifies what data, tracking or reporting is needed to close them, enabling faster and better-informed decisions.

What technology should support the logistics operation?
Technology integration means the right tools and platforms are in place to streamline operations and improve performance, rather than technology being adopted for its own sake. SCCG identifies which systems, transport management, warehouse management, tracking, actually close a performance gap, and which don’t justify the investment.

How can international trade complexities be managed effectively?
International logistics adds customs, duty, documentation and multi-carrier coordination to an already complex operation. SCCG helps organisations structure cross-border flows, select and manage freight forwarders, and design the control processes that keep landed cost and transit time predictable. SCCG has delivered projects in more than 50 countries.
