Connecting the dots

Our accurate data driven contextual research and precise analytics helps you make smarter decisions to fast track growth.

Challenge the status quo

Historically, logistics and supply chain industry have been highly fragmented. Some of the questions plaguing businesses at all stages revolve around - volume vs. margin, owned vs. leased. The answer: one-size-does-not-fit-all. Growth is personal. Our bespoke solutions help companies develop winning strategies.

Growth Accelerator

Whether logistics players are re-focusing, re-fuelling, or completely re-inventing their business model, a clear roadmap to the destination is paramount. At Aetos, we not only devise near to long-term growth plans for our clients but invest in them too. As part of our ‘Growth Accelerator’ programme, we lead the capital budgeting exercise and create opportunities for capital flow that favour the overall business purpose of our clients.

Our goal is to focus on what your customers want and when they want it, delivered in a most cost-effective manner.

Our Delivery Process

The Next Move™

Diagnose or the AS-IS:

The longest phase of our advisory process is the AS-IS mapping phase, wherein we dive deep into your present and past performance to create a baseline. We then apply analytics to create metrics and capture performance trends.

Capability vs. Aspiration

We evaluate productive extensions to your present advantage and recommend the BEST FITS. This requires looking away from products, buyers and competitors and looking AT specific resources, skills and processes that underlie your competitive advantage.

Structural vs Functional

We look to examine all your assets, your distribution and process on movement of goods and wares and align them to functional excellence, by reviewing processes, policies, technology, information systems and procedures to develop a prescription aligning to the objective of ‘value enhancement’ for time, cost and convenience.

Solving the management conundrum

Historically, companies in the logistics space have tried to answer the NICHE vs GENERIC, VOLUME vs MARGIN, OWNED vs LEASED questions. The space is so dynamic that ONE SIZE, FITS ALL cannot apply. We take it upon us to unearth answers to these questions with a Medium-Term execution time frame.

Prescribe

Based on the understanding and aspiration, the prescribed recommendations set you on a three to five-year growth plan, through business plan re-engineering, infrastructure enhancement, customer-focused value creation and capital infusion or budgeting against a goal and defined milestones.

Implement

Connection between competitive advantage and wealth is dynamic. Wealth increases when competitive advantage increases or the demand for resources underlying it increases.

We work with you and your teams to implement prescribed components for operational success that optimize, increase efficiencies and better profits. Conduct workshops for capacity and capability building, we also help you source capital in the best possible structure and most suitable terms and conditions to help you make The Next Move™.

Measure

Based on milestones and goals, we conduct regular strategic reviews to the entire transformation process and course correct wherever needed with a singular purpose to help you succeed and fulfil your aspirations in the marketplace.
