Recognise any of these?
▲ Stock levels rising but availability getting worse: cash tied up, orders still late
▲ Procurement team buying on instinct and relationships, not data and contracts
▲ No S&OP process: demand surprises drive emergency freight every month
▲ Customer penalties arriving regularly, with OTIF below 93%
▲ MD knows something is wrong but cannot put a £ figure on it

The Reality for UK Mid-Market Manufacturers

Most supply chain problems are invisible until they become expensive

UK manufacturing sector benchmarks tell a clear story about where money is being lost silently.

Inventory
£35K
Typical excess stock cost for a £500K inventory business

The average UK manufacturer holds 20% excess stock — working capital earning nothing, deteriorating, and obscuring real demand.

Procurement
£22K
Annual spot-purchase premium on a typical £180K spend base

42% of UK SME procurement spend is reactive and spot-based — at a 12% average premium versus a negotiated frame agreement.

Planning
68%
Average UK forecast accuracy; sector median is 75%

34% of UK manufacturers have no formal S&OP process. Poor forecasting drives emergency freight and customer penalties monthly.

How It Works

Four steps from diagnosis to verified savings

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence. No surprises. No scope creep. A signed number at the end.

1
Free Discovery Call
30 minutes. We listen, diagnose your highest-priority problem, and tell you what we think it is costing. No obligation.
2
Tier 1 Diagnostic
2–5 days on-site. Full 15-dimension supply chain assessment. Written report with benchmarked RAG scores and a £ savings estimate.
3
Tier 2 Programme
4–16 weeks fixed-price delivery. SOPs, processes, training, and systems: all delivered in editable format. Yours permanently.
4
Verified Sign-Off
We measure every KPI from Day 0. At programme close, we jointly sign a verified savings document. A number you can take to your board.
"We built and managed Sudan's largest telecom warehouse — £25M facility, 99.5% inventory accuracy achieved from a 30% error rate baseline — by applying the same systematic methodology we now bring to UK manufacturers."

Why Pulse Advisory
Fixed Price
No cost overruns. Ever.

You know the investment before we start. We absorb scope risk, not you. If it takes us longer, that is our problem.

You Own Everything
No dependency on us.

Every SOP, model, dashboard and framework is delivered in editable format. We build your capability, not our ongoing retainer.

Verified Results
A number, not a feeling.

We baseline every KPI on Day 0 and measure against it at close. You sign off the savings figure. It is evidence, not testimony.

Field Experience
Built in operations, not academia.

20+ years running warehouses, managing procurement teams and building supply chains in genuinely difficult environments. Not theoretical frameworks.

Milestone Payments
Four tranches of 25%.

You never pay for work that has not been signed off. Each milestone triggers the next payment. Aligned incentives, guaranteed.

Training Embedded
Three sessions included.

Team capability is part of every Tier 2 programme. We do not just redesign your processes; we make sure your people can sustain them.

We will tell you what your supply chain is costing you. At no charge.

No pitch. No obligation. 30 minutes of honest diagnosis. You leave knowing your single highest-value opportunity — whether you work with us or not.

What Happens in the Call
1
We understand your business first
Revenue size, sector, headcount, markets served. Not to qualify you, but to make sure our questions are relevant to your specific context, not a generic template.
2
We diagnose across five pain zones
Inventory, Procurement, Demand Planning, Warehouse Operations, Supply Chain Risk. We ask targeted questions in each area and listen for the signals that indicate where the highest-value problem sits.
3
We estimate the cost in your own numbers
Using your figures, we run a quick impact calculation and give you a range: "Based on what you have described, this problem is likely costing you £X–£Y per year." You can verify this against your own records.
4
We recommend a next step, or not
If we believe a Tier 1 diagnostic would produce a meaningful return, we say so and explain why. If we do not, we tell you that too. We do not pursue engagements that are not right.
The Tier 1 Diagnostic

If the call identifies a clear opportunity, the logical next step is a Tier 1 Rapid Diagnostic — a 2–5 day on-site engagement that produces everything you need to make an informed investment decision.
