Expansion & Scale

Assess whether processes, capacity, people, systems and partners can support forecast demand - and where growth may break.

• Stress test processes, people, systems, partners and capacity against forecast demand
• Identify the point at which each component stops supporting growth
• Separate immediate constraints from gaps requiring structural investment

Compare expansion of the current site, a new 3PL, a regional node or a redesigned distribution network.

• Compare expansion of the current site, a new node, a 3PL and a multi site network
• Model flows, lead times, capacity, inventory and total cost for each scenario
• Test sensitivity to volume, geography, service promise and growth rate

Support coverage growth, new categories or channels, peak capacity and a more scalable operating network.

• Size capacity for new regions, categories, channels or seasonal peaks
• Assess the impact on fulfilment, transport, inventory, teams and customer promise
• Sequence growth to avoid premature capacity or emerging bottlenecks

Define local requirements, logistics model, partner landscape, economics and launch dependencies.

• Define local requirements, volumes, service levels and launch economics
• Map fulfilment, carrier, supplier and operating dependency options
• Build the launch plan, readiness criteria and ramp scenarios

Select 3PLs, carriers and suppliers; define roles, SLAs, contracts, onboarding and readiness.

• Prepare requirements, RFP, scorecard and total cost model
• Negotiate roles, SLAs, rates, responsibilities and performance mechanisms
• Coordinate onboarding, tests, integrations and operational acceptance

Build the integrated plan, milestones, risk register and governance from business case to stabilisation.

• Build the integrated workplan, milestones, RACI and risk register
• Coordinate decisions across Operations, Finance, Tech, Commercial and external partners
• Run governance, escalation and reporting through stabilisation
