What building materials companies deal with
Portfolio complexity
Variants that sell little keep production, stock and planning busy.
Construction season
Demand follows the building season and the weather, and stock has to be ready before it starts.
Heavy, bulky goods
Transport and storage cost more than in most industries.
No end‑to‑end view
Plants, warehouses and markets each see their own part of the flow.
What we solve as consultants
Product and portfolio optimization
Which items to keep, merge or delist, based on margin, volume and cost to serve.
