Strategic Advisory Excellence
Empowering Your Business for Sustainable Growth
Unlock your business potential with our expert advisory services, designed to bridge strategy and execution
Our Key Services
Explore our four key services with which we bring our greatest expertise and deliver the value creation and sales enhancement your business needs. Learn more about each service and the associated work packages we offer.
Demand-Driven Planning
Traditional planning approaches do not work with the increased demand volatility and ever-increasing product portfolio complexity. Many companies face declining service levels and rising inventory and supply chain costs while struggling to keep up with planning efforts.
Adopting a demand-driven approach has enabled many of our clients to improve service levels while right-sizing inventory (most often resulting in an overall reduction of more than 20% in working capital).
SAP Transformation Success
Up to 80% of SAP transformations fail before they even begin, often due to missed timelines, budget overruns, or solutions that disrupt operations without meeting business needs.
The SAP implementation market is often driven by IT firms pushing overly complex solutions that don’t align with business needs. We take a different approach—our independent advisors and system architects focus on delivering cost-effective, streamlined solutions that truly support long-term success.
Supply Chain Advisory
We help define and align your operational strategies to a coherent supply chain strategy to achieve tangible results.
Our expertise spans from strategy to detailed process design and includes integration into your SAP/ERP systems. Our advisors bring cross-industry experience to deliver tailored solutions in procurement, manufacturing, and logistics.
Our differentiation is that we align supply chain solutions with sales goals, often transforming supply chain into an enabler for growth and improved customer satisfaction.
Rapid Inventory and Procurement Cost Reduction
Rapidly identify and implement opportunities for cost and inventory reductions, defining where to intervene, and deliver impactful results within days.
We use an iterative approach to realign stock levels—ensuring you have the right items in the right quantities to address procurement inefficiencies such as minimum order quantities (MOQs).
Our extensive hands-on expertise allows us to do so in a pragmatic way and ensure you avoid business disruption.
Hands-on and Getting it Done
Beyond our core service areas, ABA offers a suite of actionable services where we’re on the ground generating value for your business.
Explore these targeted services to discover further opportunities for optimising your performance and unlocking additional value in your business.
Private Equity Solutions
We assemble a team with real industry expertise, composed of pragmatic, results-driven professionals. Our extensive experience in creating value for private equity-owned companies has led us to develop clear, bite-sized products that quickly generate value for your assets.
Warehouse & Logistics Optimization
The impact of smooth Warehouse operations is generally underestimated. Our experience with over 150 warehouses has shown that warehouse improvements can enhance customer service and reduce supply chain costs by 15-25%. From these insights, we’ve created the easy to implement ‘Perfect Warehouse’ concept.
Crisis Management & Turnaround Strategies
We offer proven strategies to mitigate risks, manage “what-if” scenarios, and respond effectively to disruptions. And if you’re in a challenging situation, our advisors have helped numerous companies – hands-on – to successfully turn things around.
Professional Training & Workshops
Empower your team with industry-leading knowledge and practical skills. We offer a range of expert-led training and workshops tailored to enhance supply chain performance and operational excellence.
One of our key offerings are Demand Driven trainings led by a certified instructor.
Interim Management Support
All our advisors have extensive real-world corporate experience. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, you can leverage our pool of interim managers to provide hands-on support and steer your business through the transition.

What Our Clients Say
“Sandy’s hard-earned recognition from the team is visible with his dedication and knowledge.”
“We now finally have an S&OP Process that adds value. […] Through the thousands of backorders, customers continue to comment on ‘how does Shell do this and keep a Customer Satisfaction Index of 9/10?’.”
“Where ABA is positioned differently is that they are practical, get in the weeds and are not at 30,000ft. There are not many companies who do that.”
“If most companies come out and visit the site, it’s a desk job as opposed to more senior leaders and value being added to run the operations like with ABA.”
“With this Due Diligence report, ABA set the gold standard for this type of work”
“Sandy is the best Supply Chain Strategy consultant I have ever met. Period.”
