Specialists in Operational Efficiency
Smart Grid Systems models national supply chains at the level of individual roads, facilities and vehicles — then shows exactly which changes pay, by how much, and when.
In one national medicines network, depot storage accounted for 78% of total spend. Transport accounted for 20%. Overnight stops, 2%.
Most optimisation effort goes into routing, because routing is visible and easy to measure. But in a network holding buffer stock across dozens of depots, the decisions that actually move the cost base are where stock sits and how much of it there is. Finding that out required modelling storage, transport and overnight costs separately rather than as one blended figure — and it changed what the client did next.

$14M saved annually, a 40% reduction
A last-mile redesign of a national public-health supply chain, establishing that depot siting and buffer-day policy — not routing — dominate network cost.
A national health supply-chain agency · East Africa
8,877 health facilities modelled, nationwide
A national network-design study refreshing a decade-old baseline, covering 2.2 times as many facilities, with a desktop application handed over to re-run it.
A pharmaceutical distributor · South Africa
R5.97M saved annually, around 35%
A two-site last-mile redesign that replaced an outsourced courier arrangement with a modelled in-house fleet, and set a defensible pace for electrification.
What distinguishes a practice from a contractor is a method that repeats. Ours is deliberately conservative: it favours results that hold up under challenge over results that look impressive.
