Manufacturing Distribution Solutions

Oggi l'industria manifatturiera affronta sfide uniche e complesse su scala globale. Anche le organizzazioni più piccole devono gestire fornitori e servizi logistici dislocati in varie geografie, nonché rispettare vincoli normativi e regolamentari che variano da paese a paese. Se da un lato le aziende cercano modi nuovi di progettare, produrre e distribuire i manufatti, dall’altro devono garantire che innovazione e cambiamento generino un valore sostenibile e duraturo.

Queste sfide forniscono alle aziende l’opportunità di guardare oltre il breve termine, per costruire vantaggi competitivi di lungo periodo.

We help manufacturing and distribution organizations manage critical business challenges to help enable their future success. Here are some of the most pressing issues we are helping organizations to address.

Cybersecurity

As a result of their global connectivity, manufacturing and distribution companies face cybersecurity threats from multiple fronts. This can impact operations as well as the front and back office. We equip clients with the proper tools to protect against today’s most complex and innovative threats. Protiviti provides a holistic approach that defines what is most important to you, helping you to protect yourself and also react quickly when a breach occurs.

Digital Transformation

Smart use of technology helps manufacturing and distribution companies better manage what they do and how they do it—with the added benefit of digitizing products and services to meet customer needs. We help you align people, processes, and technology to transform your organization and help you be better equipped for a fast-changing future.

Business Intelligence

For manufacturing and distribution companies, data is an asset. But it’s often challenging to identify and capture the right information to create business insights. Improving how you understand, organize, and leverage your data is a business imperative. Protiviti takes a pragmatic, personalized approach to data solutions. We tailor solutions that fit your organization, enhancing business value through more efficient collection, distribution, and usage of information.

Supply Chain Optimization and Resilience

The recent pandemic tested the interconnectedness of global supply chains. Supply chain disruption risks continue to impact manufacturing and distribution organizations. We can help you address emerging trends and existing challenges through solutions that position your organization for improved performance and resiliency.

Cost and Performance Management

In today’s competitive global environment, the ability to make and manage smart capital investments, run efficient back-office operations, and manage cash flow are critical. We help you identify and implement cost management efforts that drive performance—in both good and more challenging times.

Transactions, Mergers, and Acquisitions

Manufacturing and distribution companies seek three types of transactions to transform their businesses: Mergers or acquisitions to expand the scope of operations or value chain, divestitures to focus on core competencies, or capital infusions from the public or private markets. In all these situations, we provide independent advisory and due diligence services, helping you maximize value today and position you for success in the future.

Evolution of Internal Controls

The demands on internal audit and finance functions continue to increase. Organizations today need not only accurate reporting but also insights to improve the business. We focus on helping you increase confidence with an evolving governance structure through world-class internal audit and finance functions.
