Preparing a major logistics provider for digital transformation.
For a logistics and materials provider serving the mining and energy sectors, customer expectations were rising fast. Clients wanted real-time visibility and digital control across every movement of materials, but outdated processes and fragmented systems left the warehouse struggling to keep up.

At a glance
- Logistics and materials provider needed real-time visibility and digital control across every movement of materials
- Outdated processes and fragmented systems left the warehouse struggling to keep up
- ASCO’s proprietary Track and Trace system was integrated to eliminate inefficiencies and raise performance
Approach
We combined data-driven insight with hands-on implementation. High-level strategy guided every decision, but it was time spent on the warehouse floor that exposed the real challenges.
We mapped end-to-end material movements—from receipts and storage to picking and dispatch—and applied global standards of quality to benchmark operations. Through this process, we uncovered bottlenecks, waste, and gaps across compliance, supplier interfaces, and process alignment.
The opportunity was clear: integrate our proprietary Track and Trace system to eliminate operational inefficiencies, reduce waste, and raise performance. This required a comprehensive review of the client’s warehousing activity and internal processes.
Impact
We empowered the client’s internal teams, ensuring they were accountable, engaged, and invested in the project. Together, we built a practical roadmap that delivered quick wins to eliminate waste immediately and a clear action plan to integrate Track and Trace, taking performance to global standards.
We laid the foundations to improve accuracy, speed and transparency, and provided:
- Clarity: Operational gaps exposed through data and observation
- Evidence: Quantified gains and a robust case for digital investment
- Engagement: Staff aligned and committed to change
- Readiness: Operations prepared for Track and Trace deployment
- Direction: For process, system and policy improvements
