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

Veelgestelde vragen

Ben je gevestigd in de VS?

Ons hoofdkantoor is gevestigd in Europa, maar bedienen regelmatig Amerikaanse klanten. De afspraken worden op afstand uitgevoerd met regelmatige bezoeken ter plaatse. We zijn flexibel qua tijdzone en houden ons aan de Amerikaanse kantooruren wanneer dat nodig is.

Behandel jij DSCSA-compliancewerk?

Ja — wij hebben geadviseerd over DSCSA serialisatie- en aggregatieprogramma's voor farmaceutische distributeurs en 3PL-organisaties. De volledige handhavingsdatum van november 2024 is verstreken; We helpen klanten nu met optimalisatie, partner-onboarding van edge cases en auditgereedheid. Zie /compliance/dscsa.

Kun je defensiegerelateerde opdrachten aanpakken met ITAR / EAR overwegingen?

Limited — wij nemen deel aan Amerikaanse defensiegerelateerde supply chain-programma's binnen de reikwijdte van ITAR / EAR compliance. Vrijgaven hangen af van het gevecht; We werken binnen die beperkingen. Voor het Britse Defensie en Europese defensie is bredere betrokkenheid mogelijk.

Dekt u Canada vanuit deze praktijk?

Ja — Canadese optredens worden uitgevoerd vanuit onze Noord-Amerikaanse praktijk. Specifieke regelgevende overwegingen (PHIPA, Quebec Law 25, federale PIPEDA) worden behandeld indien relevant.

Hoe zit het met Amerikaanse GPO's in de gezondheidszorg en de inkoop van IDN?

We werken direct met IDN's en passen ons aan GPO-inkoopkaders (Premier, Vizient) aan wanneer de opdrachten dat vereisen. We maken geen deel uit van een GPO-contract; Klanten schakelen ons direct in voor leveranciersneutrale adviezen.
