Kassandra Enterprises provides IT Project Management and Supply Chain consulting to companies that need experienced people who can step in, work inside their organisation and deliver.
IT project management (PMO)
We lead and support IT programmes and projects, from a single system rollout to a multi-country transformation. Our consultants bring long experience in large multinational organisations, including many years with some of the world's leading consulting and technology services firms, running complex programmes where business, IT and external partners all have to move together.
Clients rely on us for the basics done well: clear plans, honest reporting and commitments that hold. We work as part of your team rather than next to it. We adopt your tools and ways of working, build trust with your people and suppliers, and raise risks early and plainly, while there is still time to act on them.
- Programme and project management: scope, plan, budget, risks and issues, steering committees and status reporting.
- PMO set-up and operation: governance, standards and templates, portfolio reporting, and resource and dependency management.
- Vendor and integrator management: statements of work, deliverable acceptance, and holding partners to scope, quality and timelines.
- Deployment and go-live: test management, data migration, cutover planning and hypercare.
- Project recovery: independent review of a programme in difficulty, a realistic re-plan, and hands-on support to get it back on track.
Supply chain consulting
We help manufacturers and distributors plan better, hold less stock and serve customers more reliably. Our experience comes from leading global process ownership for planning, order management, logistics and supplier collaboration in large multinational manufacturers, and from designing the ERP and planning-system standards that supported them across their entire geography.
- Demand planning: statistical forecasting, a consensus process with sales and marketing, and measurement of forecast accuracy and bias.
- Sales and operations planning (S&OP / IBP): a monthly cycle from demand and supply review to an executive decision meeting, so the business runs on one agreed plan.
- Inventory management: inventory segmentation, safety stock and replenishment policies, and targets that balance service level against working capital.
- Order management and fulfilment: order-to-cash processes, order promising and delivery performance.
- Supplier collaboration: sharing forecasts and orders with suppliers, confirmation and delivery tracking, and supplier performance management.
- Supply chain transformation: process ownership models, global process templates, KPIs and governance that stay in place after the project ends.
- Planning and ERP systems: independent support in selecting, designing and adopting systems such as SAP IBP and S/4HANA, from requirements to day-to-day use.
What we can deliver
- Higher forecast accuracy and less bias, so plans can be trusted.
- Lower inventory and net working capital without lower service levels.
- Better on-time delivery and fewer stock-outs.
- Less expediting, fewer write-offs and less obsolete stock.
- One plan agreed by sales, operations and finance, and faster decisions as a result.
- Less manual spreadsheet work, and planning cycles that take days instead of weeks.
- Systems that people actually use, and a real return on the ERP investment.
- Programmes delivered predictably: on scope, on time and on budget, with no late surprises.
