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.

Come interagiamo con i clienti statunitensi

Individuazione degli impegni da remoto; visite in loco durante il progetto pilota e il lancio. Foglio orario — serviamo clienti statunitensi dagli orari lavorativi europei e statunitensi a seconda dell'impegno. Lingua di lavoro inglese. I processi di approvvigionamento statunitensi (MSA, RFP, RFQ framework) gestivano gli standard.

Studi di caso specifici per gli Stati Uniti

DSCSA serialisation programmes at large pharma distributors; hospital RTLS at IDN scale (multi-facility, BLE-AoA + ultrasound); apparel item-level RFID rollouts at retail-chain scale; warehouse RFID at e-commerce fulfilment networks; defence-related tool control programmes.

Domande frequenti

Sei negli Stati Uniti?

Abbiamo sede centrale in Europa ma serviamo regolarmente clienti statunitensi. Gli impegni si svolgono da remoto con visite regolari in loco. Siamo flessibili in termini di fuso orario e operiamo negli orari di lavoro negli Stati Uniti quando necessario.

Ti occupi del lavoro di conformità DSCSA?

Sì — abbiamo fornito consulenza sui programmi di serializzazione e aggregazione DSCSA per distributori farmaceutici e 3PL. La data di piena applicazione di novembre 2024 è passata; Ora assistiamo i clienti con l'ottimizzazione, i casi limite di onboarding dei partner e la prontezza agli audit. Vedi /compliance/dscsa.

Sei in grado di gestire impegni legati alla difesa con considerazioni ITAR / EAR?

Limited — partecipiamo a programmi di catena di approvvigionamento simili alla difesa statunitensi, nell'ambito della conformità ITAR / EAR. Le autorizzazioni dipendono dall'ingaggio; Lavoriamo entro questi limiti. Per la difesa del Ministero della Difesa britannica e europea, un impegno più ampio è disponibile.

Copri il Canada da questa pratica?

Sì — gli impegni canadesi sono organizzati dalla nostra pratica in Nord America. Le considerazioni normative specifiche (PHIPA, Quebec Law 25, federale PIPEDA) vengono trattate come rilevante.

E per quanto riguarda le GPO sanitarie statunitensi e l'acquisizione IDN?

Lavoriamo direttamente con gli IDN e ci adattiamo ai framework di approvvigionamento GPO (Premier, Vizient) secondo quanto richiesto dagli impegni. Non facciamo parte di alcun contratto GPO; I clienti ci coinvolgono direttamente per consulenza neutrale rispetto ai fornitori.
