We Have Delivered Manufacturing Projects With

Our Process

BoxLogic pride ourselves on delivering projects using a proven approach that can be tailored to each client’s specific requirements. We use a blend of our team’s extensive sector experience and our methodical data driven approach to provide the best feedback for your business.

We work closely with our clients to deliver successful outcomes. We are flexible in our approach but there are always regular touch points throughout projects to update on progress, confirm assumptions, share results and make decisions about the preferred direction.

We start by visiting the operation to rapidly build our understanding of how it works and establish strong working relationships across the project team and stakeholders.

Our consultants work with data to confirm assumptions of the existing operation that is used as the foundation of any downstream work. These might include throughput or storage volumes, growth projections, productivities, customer distribution etc. depending on the project goals.

Using the assumptions developed during the analysis stage, a range of scenarios or options will be modelled to evaluate the solutions that provide the most attractive results.

After selecting a preferred approach, our team develop an end-to-end solution in more detail and support the client to build a financial case for change. This could also include further detailed drawings, further validation with the market or other steps that build confidence in the solution.
