Assess and Optimise Your SCM Performance
Identify gaps, optimise processes, and enhance decision-making with regular SCM performance assessments. In a Dutch logistics environment where margins are won or lost on operational precision, knowing exactly where your supply chain underperforms — and why — is the first step toward fixing it. IT Solutions Worldwide's Supply Chain Performance Check gives businesses and individuals across the Netherlands a clear, KPI-based picture of how their supply chain is really performing, benchmarked against Dutch market standards, with a practical improvement plan attached.
Why Run Your SCM Performance Check With Us?
Introduction to SCM Performance Check
A Supply Chain Management (SCM) performance check is an assessment designed to measure a company's supply chain operations against key performance indicators (KPIs) such as lead time, inventory turnover, on-time shipping, and customer satisfaction. By conducting regular SCM performance checks, businesses can identify areas for improvement, overcome inefficiencies, enhance customer satisfaction, and reduce operational costs. For Dutch businesses operating in one of Europe's most competitive logistics markets, an objective, benchmarked view of supply chain performance is often the difference between steady margins and quietly rising costs.
Introduction to SCM Performance Check
- ×Rising logistics or warehousing costs without a clear cause
- ×Inventory that is consistently too high, too low, or inaccurate
- ×Late or inconsistent supplier deliveries affecting production or fulfilment
- ×Order fulfilment delays or a rising rate of customer complaints
- ×No clear KPI framework to measure supply chain performance against
- ×Decisions being made on instinct rather than data
- ×Uncertainty about whether current systems and processes still fit the business
Our SCM Performance Check addresses each of these directly — combining structured KPI analysis with practical, Dutch market-benchmarked recommendations you can act on immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
A supply chain performance check is a structured assessment that measures your supply chain operations — inventory, procurement, logistics, warehousing, and order fulfilment — against key performance indicators such as lead time, inventory turnover, on-time delivery, and customer satisfaction. It identifies gaps and inefficiencies and translates them into a practical improvement plan.
A focused performance check on a single area, such as inventory or logistics, typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. A full end-to-end SCM performance check across all six service areas usually runs 3 to 4 weeks. Timelines are confirmed during the initial free consultation, based on the scope agreed.
Yes. Beyond the initial assessment and report, we remain available to support implementation of the recommendations, monitor performance against the agreed KPIs, and run follow-up assessment cycles on a project, day-rate, or ongoing retainer basis.
We work across ecommerce and retail, manufacturing and industrial, wholesale and distribution, food and FMCG, healthcare and life sciences, and startups and scale-ups, tailoring every assessment to the operational realities and compliance requirements of the sector.
Depending on the scope agreed, we assess inventory management, procurement and supplier performance, logistics and transportation, order fulfilment and customer service, warehouse operations, and the technology and systems supporting decision-making across these areas.
Remote-first. Most KPI analysis, benchmarking, and reporting is delivered remotely, which keeps the assessment efficient and cost-effective. On-site warehouse walkthroughs or team workshops can be scheduled where they add genuine diagnostic value.
You receive a clear findings report benchmarked against Dutch market standards, a prioritised improvement plan with recommended actions and expected impact, and a proposed KPI framework for tracking performance going forward.
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and data processing agreement (DPA) are executed before any operational data, system access, or commercially sensitive information is shared, in full compliance with Dutch AVG (GDPR) obligations.
Yes. Many clients use the performance check as a starting point, then move into a broader SCM Consultancy engagement to implement the recommended improvements, with continuity from the specialist who conducted the original assessment.
We offer fixed-scope performance check engagements with a defined deliverable and agreed price, flexible day-rate engagements for wider-scope reviews, and ongoing retainers for businesses that want performance monitored on a regular cycle. The right model is agreed during the free consultation.
