STRATEGY & MARKETS
Strategy & Markets · Reinhard Boettger
"Strategy, markets, customers, investments, technical adaptations, profitability analysis, all linked, have you ever seen this before?"
Quite a unique offer - Strategy consulting and new markets support linked with technical solutions for Glass Industry.
This is a true, complete pack.
It is not important who is first, the egg or the chicken.
You can drive from investment needs and we help you to get the markets, or you define with us new market strategies and we support your technical adaptations.
But it is not “just” strategy, SWOT´s and competitors. It is also about important data you'll need to run your business in an efficient and profitable way.
Many companies (as well outside our industry) are struggling with their profitability analysis of models, production-lines, job-change costs, optimal lot-size,…
We are helping you with smart calculation tools, to help you identify your winners and losers products, compare different production lines, segments, explore target pricing and much more.
This is not rocket science, but we know from our own experience how difficult it can get day-by-day.
And here we speak of big numbers in company results.
Our support packages can be described in three main categories:
BASIC STRATEGY
- Collection and analysis of basic existing and targeted commercial strategy and potential new options;
- Collection and analysis of production, markets and product details, SWOT analysis including main competitors (input from client, data collection method to be discussed);
