RÄVIR
Services.
This is how we can help. Four defined services that can stand alone or form part of the same assignment.
01 / UNDERSTAND OPERATIONS
Analytics
What drives cost, capacity and performance?
Relationships are investigated as possible explanations. They are not automatically treated as causes.
Discuss your task →- What we do
- Investigate delivery service, bottlenecks, capacity and cost by customer, route or product.
- Check data quality and KPI definitions. Compare alternatives in a business case.
- What you receive
- Analysis, relevant calculations and a decision memo with findings, assumptions and next steps. A dashboard can be included when ongoing monitoring is part of the brief.
- What we start with
- An agreed Excel, CSV or ERP extract: for example orders, deliveries, inventory movements or invoices. We first determine what is needed.
02 / PREPARE FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Forecasting
What should you plan for - and how uncertain is it?
We commit to a documented test. A more advanced model is not assumed to be an improvement.
Discuss your task →- What we do
- Define the quantity, horizon and decision the forecast will support.
- Test seasonality, trends and relevant drivers against a simple reference and, where available, your current forecast.
- What you receive
- A forecast, comparison of forecast errors, description of uncertainty and recommendation for use. The simple model is selected if it performs best.
- What we start with
- Dated history at a consistent frequency, such as daily or weekly volumes. Prices, campaigns and other drivers are included when relevant and available at forecast time.
03 / TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS
Tender management
Tender, renegotiate or retain the current agreement?
A fixed fee for the agreed scope. The conclusion may be to retain the agreement. Estimated potential, agreed rates and realised net savings are kept separate.
Discuss your task →- What we do
- Review transport spend, invoices, rates, surcharges and service. Assess whether a tender is justified.
- Prepare the data, requirements and pricing model. Compare offers using the same volumes, assumptions and service levels. Coordination and negotiation support are scoped as needed.
- What you receive
- Agreed tender materials and an evaluation model, assessment of total cost and risks, and a decision memo. A follow-up plan can be included.
- What we start with
- Transport history, invoices, agreements, rate cards and service requirements. Ideally 12-24 months of history where relevant and available.
04 / REPEATABLE WORK, VISIBLE CONTROL
Automation
Which manual data tasks should run more consistently?
We start with one defined workflow. New system integrations, operation and ongoing support are scoped separately.
Discuss your task →- What we do
- Combine and clean recurring Excel/CSV extracts and check for missing or changed data.
- Refresh KPI reports and forecast calculations at an agreed frequency. Make exceptions and failures visible.
- What you receive
- An agreed Excel/Power Query solution, script or reporting workflow with checks, testing and a short operating guide. Ownership, execution and maintenance are documented.
- What we start with
- Sample inputs and expected outputs, access to agreed data sources, and a description of frequency, exceptions and responsibilities.
Working together
A clear scope.
A result you can examine.
We first clarify the question, data and intended use of the result. Then we agree deliverables, timing, a fixed fee and responsibility for any ongoing operation. We also identify what the data cannot yet answer.
A simple starting point
Start with the problem.
What do you want to understand, decide or make work better? A few lines are enough to start the conversation.
