What your business gains with BESTgroup
Accelerate processes
BESTgroup significantly reduces your lead times – through lean processes, clear rules and aligned systems.
Reduce inventory
Your business saves capital and warehouse cost while improving delivery performance – with optimised supply processes and a clear planning system.
Improve planning
BESTgroup designs your supply chain for future success – with the right planning, digital solutions, AI support and clear decision rules.
Accelerate implementation
Supply chain consulting and tangible results instead of PowerPoint and emails – BESTgroup accompanies implementation from idea to success. For results that work and last.
Reduce costs
BESTgroup identifies hidden cost drivers in direct and indirect areas across procurement, production, logistics, order processing, warehousing and shipping – and develops measures with your team that measurably reduce material and process costs. Lower cost, less waste, more margin.
Make AI and digital projects deliver
Many digital and AI initiatives fail to deliver because processes, data and responsibilities are not aligned with measurable improvements. BESTgroup establishes the operational foundations so that your investments in AI and digital solutions actually create rapid impact – with clear goal orientation, clean data, employee training and rigorous anchoring in day-to-day operations.
What companies struggle with in their supply chain
Unhappy customers
Customers complain about long lead times and late deliveries, and new customers are looking for suppliers with better delivery performance.
Frustrated employees
Employees have to calm down upset customers but lack confidence that the underlying problems will be solved. Stress and chronic issues drive high turnover, and top performers leave the company.
Unhappy shareholders
Excess inventory and high non-recurring costs put pressure on the financials. Growth slows down because hardly any new customers can be won.
No improvement from digital solutions
The ERP system does not support the processes, additional tools take long to implement and fail to deliver the expected improvements.
High inventory yet availability issues
Even with growing inventory, missing parts increase and supply gets ever more difficult. Production groans under constant order and priority changes. Orders cannot be shipped because products are missing.
Who benefits from BESTgroup consulting
Executive management
You carry overall responsibility and need solutions that work – both today and tomorrow. BESTgroup quickly delivers transparent results for everyday problems, designs strategies and end-to-end solutions that can be implemented fast – combining processes, digital and AI solutions.
Supply Chain Management leaders
You know the operational challenges in detail. BESTgroup develops solutions that measurably improve your supply chain performance – aligned with your supply chain, your systems landscape and your structures.
Digital leaders
When data, systems, processes and user know-how do not interlock, parts of the chain – or the entire supply chain – fail to work. BESTgroup helps your company integrate digital and AI solutions along the supply chain into one coherent system and achieve maximum value.
Project managers
BESTgroup thinks in results and feasible change rather than theoretical concepts. Our consulting focuses on feasibility, impact and sustainability – results that last long after BESTgroup has gone.

The BESTgroup offering – structured & focused
Structured and targeted solutions to optimise your supply chain performance.
Strategy & Governance
BESTgroup develops a robust target picture for your supply chain together with you – with clear fields of action, an aligned customer and product portfolio and a structured supplier and production strategy. Complemented by suitable planning logic so your company can react to market opportunities at any time.
Supply Chain Design
Often the overall structure of the supply chain is not right. Together with your supply chain people, BESTgroup designs a future-proof process concept and defines the system and facility architectures needed to make the concept succeed in implementation. Instead of off-the-shelf solutions, a tailored design that delivers the results your company needs.
Planning & Forecasting
Whether demand, material, inventory or production planning – BESTgroup optimises your planning processes so your company can react quickly, with measures and concepts that are transparent and implementable. We clarify planning logic, align warehouse, procurement and production capacities and create the basis for stable operations.
Order Scheduling & Production Control
BESTgroup helps you accelerate order scheduling. Instead of Excel-based workarounds, clear rules automate processes and make them fully digital. In production, structures are reorganised so your company can react quickly to orders and different demand scenarios.
Order Fulfilment & Production Execution
BESTgroup knows the challenges of systematising and simplifying these processes. Waiting times are reduced and work steps synchronised. The result: shorter lead times and less effort for your company. At the same time, production is reviewed and measures to optimise production flow are put in place.
Logistics, Warehousing & Transport
Whether warehouse organisation, picking, returns or packaging: BESTgroup analyses and streamlines your core logistics processes. We respect existing tools, create digital interfaces and accompany the integration into your systems landscape – for faster processing, higher efficiency and fewer handover breaks.
Inventory & Availability
BESTgroup optimises coverage and inventory quality in a targeted way – so material and products are where they are needed. We rely on field-proven concepts and assess which patterns make sense to lift performance and reduce workload in your company.
Data, Digitalisation & Artificial Intelligence
BESTgroup supports your company in selecting and implementing the right systems – ERP, APS, WMS and other digital solutions. We help establish the right master-data structure and quality to achieve systematic process improvements. This includes clarifying responsibilities and building a KPI logic that makes your supply chain controllable.

2025What moves the supply chain today
With BESTgroup’s targeted supply chain consulting you measurably increase your competitiveness. Many companies lose time due to inefficient processes, poorly integrated systems and unclear responsibilities. We focus exactly where the impact is greatest – with implementations in your supply chain that deliver results, not just paper.
Improve on-time delivery
Through aligned planning and control systems we enable on-time delivery above 95 % – even with complex product structures and volatile demand.
Shorten lead times
For your customers, what counts is whether they receive their products complete, on time and in the right place. BESTgroup supports order-fulfilment optimisation so customer satisfaction grows.
Reduce inventory, increase liquidity
High inventories tie up capital and block liquidity. BESTgroup’s inventory-optimisation consulting analyses your sourcing strategy, identifies overstocks and enables a reduction of working capital through new control logics – without risking supply reliability.
Supply chain process optimisation
Short lead times are a clear competitive advantage. We analyse your processes and streamline information and material flows – from goods receipt and picking to dispatch. The result: more speed with less effort.
Supply chain digitalisation
Digitalisation does not start with tools but with clarity about processes and data. BESTgroup helps your company identify the demand for digital solutions and successfully select and implement the right software tools – such as ERP or supply chain planning systems.
Artificial intelligence in the supply chain
AI lifts your supply chain performance to a new level. In addition to point solutions – improving forecasts, automating scheduling or detecting inventory risk – BESTgroup supports you with the right strategy. We accompany the selection, introduction and use of AI-based solutions – with a focus on measurable value.
Answers to the most important questions
You will see first results quickly, with further improvements following soon after. A relentless focus on results and their sustainable anchoring shapes the thinking of every BESTgroup consultant.
BESTgroup assesses the existing systems and how they are used. Your business goals are always the priority. We help you maximise the value of your existing systems. Because so many systems exist, we guide the optimisation or replacement; for the technical implementation we use your own or external specialists.
BESTgroup transforms your company’s performance together with your employees. This requires on-site collaboration to achieve the best impact. We complement this with targeted remote formats.
After the initial conversation, BESTgroup prepares a proposal. After your company has issued the engagement, we agree on a joint start date.
