“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.”​

  • A clear scope and defined problem area

  • Tangible deliverables tailored to business needs

  • Transparent, upfront pricing

Case Studies: Real-World Success

Unlocking Capital and Performance

A multinational machinery manufacturer was struggling with excessive stock levels, misaligned replenishment settings, and inefficient inventory policies, leading to capital lock-up and reduced efficiency. With 80,000 SKUs and stock levels averaging six months of inventory, the company needed a targeted solution to streamline operations and unlock working capital.

By segmenting stock based on demand patterns and optimising SAP inventory policies, we reduced stock levels by 46%, freeing up 150.9M CHF in working capital. The business saw increased operational efficiency, faster customer order fulfillment, and significant cost savings.
