Services
KEPLER works on all key issues in the service sector by relying on mastery of the best optimization methodologies, particularly from the industrial sector, and by adapting them but also by reinventing them to deploy them in the world of services.
Context and Challenges
Under the Constraint of New, More Agile, More Innovative, More Specialized Players With a Lead in Terms of Digitization, Service Companies Must Rethink Their Business Model:
- Extension of the offer to increase use value, act on the entire added value chain (eg: mobility offer vs transport offer),
- Switching to a service offering by work units rather than according to a number of resources and / or equipment,
- Support for the outsourcing of complete areas of their customers’ activity (3PL / 4PL in logistics, Facility Management in building management, IT Service Center, etc.).
Such an Evolution Positions Service Companies at the Heart of Their Clients’ Value Proposition, Which in Return Impose Ever Greater Demands on Them:
- Shorter and more consistent deadlines,
- Strong expectations in terms of responsiveness and agility to constantly adapt,
- Alignment with their own CSR requirements, and even beyond in B2C environments (impact of social networks, actions of NGOs, etc.)
To Survive and Deploy, Improving Operational Performance is a Key Success Factor:
- Network adaptation and optimization (integrated or independent), management of this network, transversal animation,
- Continuous improvement, dissemination of a culture of performance,
- Use of the strength of the network to capture improvements (control of subcontractors, globalization of certain expenses, etc.),
- Dynamic management of the make or buy policy,
- Implementation of digital tools, exploitation of customer data (AI / machine learning).
