Shipping & Logistics

Years of experience in commodity shipping and logistics can help to identify strategic opportunities (and challenges) for getting products to market or fulfilling your sourcing needs. We also appreciate that robust, secure, reliable supply chains for sustainable and differentiated commodity products often require a different approach to conventional commodities.

In addition, we welcome opportunities to aggregate the interests of clients to establish cost and operational benefits from going to market as a scaled up buying or logistics pool.

Input Purchasing & Commodity Processing

Margins are often very tight in commodity processing operations and so managing the performance details and establishing operational excellence (OE) is of paramount importance. We can help you define what OE actually means for your specific operation and co-create a roadmap with your team on how to make it happen.

Furthermore, we are looking to pool the purchasing interests of clients for standard input categories in order to leverage the benefit of scale. This could be for fertilisers, chemicals, logistics, ingredients, even for equipment.

Markets and merchandising

Deciding to produce or consume more sustainable products will often raise questions over your existing counter-parties and market flows.

Do you need to find and talk to different suppliers ? Can you access different markets ? How do you establish greater influence over price ? How do you best communicate and monetise your sustainable difference ? Should your business consider a supply chain partnership to help get your product to market more cost effectively ?

These are all commercially strategic decisions with which we can help.
