Supply chain consulting · Egypt & MENA

Turning supply chain complexity into competitive advantage.

TRON partners with manufacturers, distributors and retailers to diagnose where cost, cash and service are being lost — and to build the tools, processes and teams that recover them.

About TRON

Our approach

Diagnose first. Always.

A solution without a diagnostic is a guess. Every TRON engagement starts with a structured assessment across cost, cash, service and digital capability — with every gap quantified in EGP before we recommend anything.

  1. Understand

    We deep-dive into your business, your challenges and your data.

  2. Diagnose

    We analyse the data and identify root causes and opportunities.

  3. Design

    We build scenarios and design the optimal solution.

  4. Implement

    We execute with you and transfer knowledge to your team.

  5. Sustain

    We track impact and continuously improve.

Who we are

What we stand for.

Focus

End-to-end supply chain performance — not isolated fixes to one function while the losses move somewhere else.

Approach

Data-driven insight paired with practical solutions. We do not recommend solutions before we understand the problem.

Belief

Sustainable impact comes from hands-on partnership. We work alongside your team on-site at the moments that matter.

Commitment

Measurable value and lasting capability. Every engagement ends with working tools, a trained team and documented processes.

Why TRON

Five reasons clients choose to work with us.

Executive experience

We know the realities of running supply chains — the constraints, the trade-offs and the politics of change.

End-to-end expertise

From strategy to execution, we cover the full chain: planning, sourcing, logistics, warehousing and the digital layer that connects them.

Data to action

We turn insights into practical, executable solutions — running dashboards, calibrated models and documented processes.

Impact driven

We are measured by the results we deliver. Every gap and every opportunity is sized in EGP before any work begins.

Partner, not just advisor

We work alongside your team to succeed together, and we transfer the knowledge so improvements hold after we leave.

Senior-led delivery

All work is led by the principal consultant. Nothing is delegated to junior staff.

How we work

Our working agreement.

A consulting engagement is a two-way commitment. Here is what we bring, and what we ask in return.

What we commit to

  • All work is led by the principal consultant.
  • On-site at critical milestones, available by phone in between.
  • Knowledge transfer is built into every engagement.
  • We deliver operational tools, not presentation decks.
  • Fixed, milestone-based fees. No open-ended day rates.
  • A financial return estimate before every engagement — and if the numbers don't make sense, we say so.

What we expect from you

  • Access to clean data, or the willingness to invest in getting it clean.
  • A named point of contact with authority to make operational decisions.
  • Workshop attendance by the people who know the business.
  • Honest feedback during the engagement, not after.
  • Commitment to act on the findings.

Meet the team behind the results.

Capabilities

Where we work.

Supply chain strategy

Set the shape of the network and the cost of serving each customer, then test the strategy against the futures you are likely to face.

  • Network design and footprint
  • Cost-to-serve by customer, channel and SKU
  • Scenario planning and sensitivity analysis
  • Make-vs-buy and sourcing strategy
Demand & supply planning

A planning process that runs monthly, a statistical forecast calibrated to your market, and a supply plan the factory and the finance team both believe.

  • Sales & operations planning (S&OP)
  • Statistical demand forecasting
  • Integrated business planning (IBP)
  • Planning engines and solver-based optimisation
Logistics & transportation

Move product at the lowest cost per case without losing service — from fleet sizing to route design to transport management systems.

  • Distribution network optimisation
  • Transport management system (TMS) deployment
  • Freight, fleet and routing optimisation
  • Central hub and cross-dock design
Warehouse & operations

Warehouses that flow: process design, right-sized manpower and the systems to run them.

  • Extended warehouse management (EWM / WMS)
  • Process design and layout
  • Productivity and manpower right-sizing
  • Automation opportunity assessment
Digital solutions & analytics

Turn the data you already have into decisions: live dashboards, analytical models and, where it pays back, AI.

  • Data quality and availability audits
  • Power BI dashboards and control towers
  • Advanced analytics and optimisation models
  • AI-enabled planning and automation
Operating model & change

Improvements hold only when the organisation, governance and skills are designed to keep them.

  • Organisation and role design
  • Governance and decision rights
  • Capability building and coaching
  • Programme management office (PMO)
Solution tracks

Five specialist programmes, each triggered by a diagnostic finding.

Tracks are never proposed on assumption. They are scoped after the diagnostic, can run in parallel, and end with tools your team operates independently.

Triggered by demand forecast accuracy gaps or no formal S&OP process

S&OP deployment & demand planning

We design and deploy a formal Sales & Operations Planning cycle and, where needed, a statistical demand model calibrated to your categories and Egyptian market seasonality. The cycle is handed over running.

  • S&OP process design: cadence, templates, RACI, governance
  • Three facilitated live cycles with handover to an internal owner
  • Statistical demand model (baseline, seasonality, promotional uplift)
  • Demand planning dashboard: forecast accuracy, bias, exceptions
Triggered by overstock, stockouts or no systematic replenishment parameters

Inventory optimisation & replenishment

Fix the cash-in-stock problem with inventory intelligence, scientific safety stocks and a replenishment engine that replaces gut-feel ordering.

  • Inventory visibility dashboard
  • Safety stock and reorder point optimisation
  • Replenishment engine (Excel, Power BI or hosted)
  • Capacity planning tool
  • Slow and dead stock action plan
Triggered by customer OTIF below 90%, supplier unreliability or stockout-driven lost sales

Service level & control tower

Improve customer service through supplier improvement programmes and an end-to-end control tower that shows where orders are at risk before the customer notices.

  • Supplier improvement programme
  • End-to-end control tower dashboard
  • Service level root cause analysis
Triggered by logistics cost above benchmark, margin erosion or unquantified operational losses

Loss elimination & cost project execution

A shelf-back loss elimination workshop surfaces hidden cost projects; we then score, prioritise and lead the ones with the best return.

  • Loss elimination workshop
  • Cost-to-serve analysis
  • Project scoring and prioritisation
  • Project implementation (PM lead)
  • Savings tracking dashboard
Triggered by team capability gaps, undocumented processes or improvement regression risk

Training & SOP development

Upskill the supply chain team and document every key process so that improvements are locked in after the engagement ends.

  • Supply chain fundamentals and advanced demand planning training
  • Custom training programmes
  • Three-month coaching programme
  • Eight-section SOPs: process flow, RACI, controls, exception handling
Not sure which applies?

Start with the diagnostic.

The diagnostic tells us — and you — which of these tracks will pay back. It is the foundation of every engagement.

See the engagement model

What you receive

Working outputs, not reports that get filed away.

Power BI dashboards

Inventory health, demand accuracy, replenishment queues, supplier performance, financial impact — live and maintained by your team from day one.

Analytical models & engines

Demand forecast models, safety stock calculators, replenishment engines — built in Excel or Python, calibrated to your data, documented for internal use.

Executive diagnostic report

Findings, financial opportunity sizing, benchmarks and a prioritised roadmap. Designed to be presented to the board.

Standard operating procedures

Written for the people who actually use them, covering process flow, RACI, controls and exception handling.

Trained teams

Your team understands what was built and why, and can maintain it independently when the engagement ends.

Which of these gaps is costing you the most?

Methodology

Five steps, one discipline.

The diagnostic findings determine which solutions are proposed, so every recommendation is grounded in your actual data and context.

  1. Understand

    We deep-dive into your business and challenges through workshops, interviews and process mapping.

  2. Diagnose

    We analyse your data across cost, cash, service and digital, and identify root causes and quantified opportunities.

  3. Design

    We build scenarios and design the optimal solution — with a financial return estimate before you commit.

  4. Implement

    We execute with you: tools built, processes deployed, knowledge transferred.

  5. Sustain

    We track impact through savings dashboards and continuous improvement support.

The diagnostic framework

Four pillars. No pillar is skipped.

Every diagnostic assesses performance across all four dimensions, so the result is a complete picture rather than a partial view.

Cost

  • Cost-to-serve by customer / channel / SKU
  • Logistics cost mapping by route
  • Procurement spend analysis
  • Waste and loss tree (shelf-back)
  • Cost reduction opportunity sizing

Cash

  • Inventory value and aging by location
  • Working capital cycle (DIO, DSO, DPO)
  • Days of cover vs. optimal by category
  • Slow and dead stock quantification
  • Cash release opportunity

Service

  • Customer OTIF measurement
  • Stockout frequency and revenue impact
  • Supplier reliability scorecard
  • Order fulfilment lead time
  • Returns and quality rejection rate

Digital

  • Systems and tools landscape
  • Data quality and availability
  • Planning process and tools review
  • Team capability scoring (1–5)
  • Automation opportunity mapping
Engagement model

How a TRON engagement works.

Fees are fixed and milestone-based. The diagnostic is not optional — it is the foundation on which every subsequent decision is built.
