Which technologies do you consult on?

All of the major location, identification and IoT technologies: RTLS (UWB, BLE, Wi-Fi), RFID (passive, active and RAIN UHF), industrial IoT and sensors, GPS and GNSS, AGV and AMR robot fleets, and hybrid stacks that combine them. We recommend the right mix for each zone and use case, not a single technology.

Are you really vendor-neutral?

Yes. We do not sell hardware or a software platform of our own, and we take no resale commissions, so our technology and vendor recommendations serve your outcome rather than a product we need to move.

Do you work outside the UK?

We are UK-based and work across Europe and internationally, delivering in English, German and French. Engagements can be remote or on-site depending on the work.

What does a consulting engagement include?

Typically discovery and requirements, vendor-neutral technology selection, vendor evaluation and RFP support, ROI and business case, solution architecture, and an implementation roadmap. We scope each engagement to where you are.

Can you help after the decision is made?

Yes. We work across the full lifecycle - we can also deploy, integrate, and operate the system, so you can keep one independent team from business case through to live operation.

How do we get started?

Usually with a short call or a fixed-fee discovery to scope the problem, followed by a proposal with clear deliverables, timeline and fees. There is no obligation and no platform pitch.

We are headquartered in Europe but serve US clients regularly. Engagements run remotely with regular on-site visits. We are time-zone-flexible and engage in US business hours when required.

Do you handle DSCSA compliance work?

Yes — we have advised on DSCSA serialisation and aggregation programmes for pharma distributors and 3PLs. The November 2024 full enforcement date passed; we now help clients with optimisation, partner-onboarding edge cases and audit readiness. See /compliance/dscsa.

Can you handle defence-related engagements with ITAR / EAR considerations?

Limited — we engage on US defence-adjacent supply-chain programmes within the scope of ITAR / EAR compliance. Clearances depend on the engagement; we work within those constraints. For UK MOD and European defence, broader engagement available.

Do you cover Canada from this practice?

Yes — Canadian engagements run from our North America practice. Specific regulatory considerations (PHIPA, Quebec Law 25, federal PIPEDA) handled as relevant.

What about US healthcare GPOs and IDN procurement?

We work with IDNs directly and adapt to GPO procurement frameworks (Premier, Vizient) as engagements require. We are not part of any GPO contract; clients engage us directly for vendor-neutral advisory.

FAQ

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Bist du in den USA ansässig?

Unser Hauptsitz ist in Europa, betreut aber regelmäßig US-Kunden. Die Engagements finden remote statt, mit regelmäßigen Besuchen vor Ort. Wir sind zeitzonenflexibel und halten bei Bedarf US-Geschäftszeiten ein.

Übernehmst du DSCSA-Compliance-Arbeiten?

Ja – wir haben zu DSCSA-Serialisierungs- und Aggregationsprogrammen für Pharma-Distributoren und 3PL-Konzerne beraten. Der vollständige Durchsetzungstermin im November 2024 ist überschritten; Wir unterstützen Kunden jetzt bei der Optimierung, Partner-Onboarding von Randfällen und der Audit-Bereitschaft. Siehe /compliance/dscsa.

Kannst du verteidigungsbezogene Einsätze mit ITAR- oder EAR-Überlegungen bewältigen?

Begrenzt – wir arbeiten an US-amerikanischen Supply-Chain-Programmen im Rahmen der ITAR-/EAR-Compliance. Freigaben hängen vom Gefecht ab; Wir arbeiten innerhalb dieser Grenzen. Für das britische Verteidigungsministerium und die europäische Verteidigung ist ein breiteres Engagement möglich.

Deckst du Kanada mit dieser Praxis ab?

Ja – kanadische Engagements laufen von unserer nordamerikanischen Praxis aus. Spezifische regulatorische Überlegungen (PHIPA, Quebec Law 25, bundesstaatliches PIPEDA) werden gegebenenfalls behandelt.

Wie sieht es mit US-Gesundheits-GPOs und IDN-Beschaffung aus?

Wir arbeiten direkt mit IDNs zusammen und passen uns je nach Engagement an GPO-Beschaffungsrahmenwerke (Premier, Vizient) an. Wir sind nicht Teil eines GPO-Vertrags; Kunden wenden sich direkt an uns für eine anbieterneutrale Beratung.
