In business, much attention is given to the ‘numbers’. Rigorous, complex analysis is performed to justify investment and indicate areas of opportunities. The ability to perform the required analysis and develop strategies and solutions based on data is a core competence of Sofard and its partners.
For many years we have held the belief that too little attention is given to the so called ‘softer’ side of business, i.e., people, processes, organisational structure, ethos, and values. So whilst the ‘hard’ analysis might be rigorous and error free, if companies fail to take into account the capability of their people and the ability of the organisation to change then their business cases and implementation plans are flawed.
Hence the idea of Sofard (bridging the gap) was born. Development started approximately 5 years ago whilst the founder was at Supply Chain Engineering Consultancy Miebach Logistics (with whom we still have a close working relationship). The company was launched in January 2004.
Our intention is to bring methodologies and experience to both the ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ aspects of supply chain management, from initial diagnostics to smooth implementation.
